AND AS A TESTI.MOMAI, TO 
HIS INTEGRITY, GENEROSITY AMI PATRIOTISM 



|'i;i:face 



About the year 1850 the first attempt was made to colloct and arnrngc in 
genealogical order the descendants of Thomas Trowliridgo. the first of his name 
in this country, who cmiirrated from Exeter, Dcvonsliire. England, to Dorchester, 
Jlfass., as early as IG.'iT, and soon after went witii the early M-ttlt-rs to the 
colony of New Haven. Those who were most interested in tliis undertaking were 
Thomas II. Trowbridge* of New Haven. I'liilo M. Trowhridge of W(H>dl>nr>% 
Conn., and Otis Trowliridgo of Newton, Mass. As the result of their efforts, 
most of the descendants in the male line of Thomas, the second son of the 
settler, were collected by Kcv. William S. Porteft who was employe*! for that 
punwsc^ by Mr. Thomas R. Trowbridge; many of the descendants of William 
Trowbridge, the thinl son, were collected by Deacon Philo i[. Trowbridge; and 
of the descendants of James Trowbridge, the youngest son, the n-oonls of wveral 
hundred were collected and ])rinted in a pamphlet in ls.'i4 by Deacon Otis Trow- 
bridge. John, the oldest son of the settler, did not come with his father to this 
country and dietl unmarried in early maniiood in Taunton, P^ngland. The 
subject then rested until the summer of 1S()9, when Mr. Thomas R. Trowbridge 
employed Rev. Frederick W. Chajjuian to take the materials collected and gather 
such other records as might l>e found and prepare n book for publication. As a 
result of his work the "Trowbridge Family" was published in 1872. 

The compilation of the present l)ook was begun early in ISIIS. The genealogi- 
cal standard has advanced materially since the '■Trowi>ri<lge Family" was pub- 
lished, and the compiler of the present book decided tliat he wouM obtnin the 
best results if he should disivgard all print<^d records of the Trowbridgi-s and 
proceed as if no history of the family had ever Uvn published. He has followed 
this plan throughout the compilation of this book, and all statements made are 
based on public records, examined by himself in nearly every case, or on corre- 
spondence with members of the family. Mr. Lothrop Witliington, a recogniied 
authority on genealogical research in English records, has been employetl to 
conduct the investigation in England. Mr. Robert A. Smith of Washington, 
D. C, was employed to copy the war records of Trowbridgcs previous to the 
Civil War in the United States Pension Office. The many luindreds of nvords 
of their service in the Civil War were taken by the compiler from the official 
rosters of the several states (a most laborious work, as those volumes an^ not 
indexed), supplementetl by family letters ajid a search of tlie records in tlie Pen- 
sion office. The compiler has searched the public records diligently for tlie few 
facts that are missing in the earlier generations and his correspondents know how 
earnestly he has written thom to supply tlie facts missing in the later genera- 
tions. He has made a special effort to give the birth and parentage of tlie 
Trowbridge wives. The completeness of details in the biogr.iphical sketches 
indicate his efforts in that direction. He has corresi>onded with some member 
of each family circle within the past six months, so that tlie family registers are 
as complete as it was possible to make them. The proof sheets have been com- 
pared with the original notes made by tlie compiler and the letters he has received. 

The greater part of this book is a history of Thomas Trowbridge ami his 
descendants. In the course of searches for members of that family the compiler 
has accumulated considerable data relative to several other families of Trow-

bridges, some ]ierhaps descending from Thomas Trowbridge, but so far not cer- 
tainly identified, and others known to be not descended from liim. These have 
been included in this book. It is intended to record the history of successive 
generations in the male line, and that some branches are not brought down to 
the present time is due chiefly to the indifierence of their members. But there 
have been very few such cases in comparison with the large number of branches 
whose members have been anxious to assist the compiler in every way in their 
power. It would have been an agreeable work to have recorded the families of the 
many Trowbridge women who have married, for without their help as complete a 
history as this would have been- impossible, but to have followed out the records 
of the female lines would have taken many more years and made another volume 
larger than this, which would have at least doubled the cost of the book, and in 
very many cases would have been a reprint of portions of genealogies already 
published or anticipated others in preparation. 

The arrangement of the successive families is simple. The name of each 
male head of a family is preceded by his own consecutive number and followed 
by an ancestral parenthesis sjating his descent, the jjarticular book number of 
each ancestor being printed superiorly. The records of a few members of the 
family were received after the numbering of the manuscript was completed, which 
has necessitated the use of the letters, a, b, etc., after the number. 

The compiler thanks the hundreds of Trowbridge men and women and the 
many others allied to them by marriage for the help they have so willingly 
given him in preserving in this comparatively enduring form the history of a 
family that has done its full share in the building of this country. The corre- 
spondence has been a pleasant one, except for a letter now and then that told 
of the death of one whose letters in the earlier years of this work made possible 
the connecting of the present generations with the past. Some branches of the 
family deservedly are entitled to have more of their members represented by 
portraits, either on account of their prominence or because they or their descend- 
ants have taken interest in this genealogy, but the compiler has endeavored 
to have at least one portrait of some member of each main stem or a picture of 
some old homestead that is endeared to the memory of its members. Likenesses 
of a number of the family that the compiler wished to include were either 
luiobtainable or such that satisfactory portraits could not be made from them. 

The compiler feels that he has conscientiously made every effort to make this 
history complete and he now with regret draws his work to a close.

The photographs of the New Haven members of the family ami the views in that city, 
with a few exceptions, were taken by tlie Phelps studio of New Haven. The half-tone 
plates were made by The Stoddard-Brown Co. of New Haven and printed by The Tuttle, 
Morehouse & Taylor Co., printei-s of this genealogy. 



THE TROWBETDCE ARMS 



The amis borne by tlio Trowbridge family are what are termed in heraldry 
annes parlanles, becaxise of their allusion to the name — the bridge and the water 
running tJirough. In the earliest heraldry, whenever it was possible, the object 
chosen was one whose name bore sufficient resemblance in sound to suggest the 
name of the bearer of it. This characteristic of the Trowbridge arms is an 
evidence of their antiquity. 

In "A Treatise on Heraldry" by Woodward and Burnett, page 362, is printed 
the following account of the use of the bridge in heraldry : 

"In the later svipplement which follows M. Vallett's edition of the 'Armorial 
de Berry.' . . . Azure, a bridge argent supporting a castle, or, is borne by 
Pontaut; this resembles the eighteenth century coat of Trowbridge, Bart. Or, 
over water in base a bridge of three arches embattled thereon a tower proper, 
its i3ag flying charged with a cross potent of the field ; on a canton of the third 
two keys in saltire gold.* Of bridges without castles there are a good many 
instances. The Scottish f aiaily of Bridge naturally bears : Gules, a bridge of one 
arch argent, stream transfluent proper. Azure, a bridge argent is a coat of 
Pierrepont, and (with square arches) Pontbriant. Gules, a bridge of two arches 
or is borne by the Marquises of Ponte.ves in France. Or, a bridge of three arches 
sable is used by the Prussian Briickners. The Venetian Counts da Ponte carried 
azure, a bridge of one arch with steps or." 

In the herald's visitation of the county of Devon the Trowbridge arms are 
described as: Or. over water, proper, a bridge towered, gules. The Harleian 
Society printed in this connection the following document : 

"Sciant praesentes et futuri quod ego Waltenis de Trobridge dedi et coucessi Rogero 
de Trobridge Moyland de Esticot nativam meam et totam setiuelam suam de omnibus 
catallis suis. His testibus Tho. Fordeton. Roberto Wanti, Osberto Trobridge et aliis. 
Sans date. (Sealed with arms: a bridge with flag.)" 

A picture of the old seal may be seen at the top of the next plate. Two pictures 
of the arms, one exactly like the seal and the other the same with a tower added, 
may be seen in "Elviu's Dictionary of Heraldry," plate xxiii, nos. 19 and 20. 

That the Trowbridge family of Taunton, Somersetshire, was related to that of 
Devonshire is sufficiently proved by the similarity of the family arms. . 

In the Parnell collection is an engraving of the Trowbridge ai-ms, nearly 
exactly like those shown in the lower illustration of the next plate, engi-aved in 
1638, with this inscription: "This coate standeth in Kirton Church in y"* county 
of Devon and it seemeth to have been given to the first bearer thereof as an 
allusion to his surname, quasi Throwbridge, having respect to the current and fall 
of the streams that doe passe through the arches." 

In the stained glass window in the chancel of St. James's Church. Taunton, the 
Trowbridge arms are to be seen quartered with those of Ilalliday, the second and 
third quarterings being for Trowbridge. A picture of these arms may be seen in 



* These arms were home hy .\dmiral Sir Tbomas Trouhridge. a brave naval offlcer under 
Nelson, -n-ho was knighted in ITOil. the '-ci-ossed keys of St. Peter" being added to his arras 
after his reduction of the castle of St. Elmo. His motto was : Siics Pons Titac Est: 



1(5 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

tJie lower illustration of the opposite plate. In these arms the tower is domed, 
otherwise tliey are practically the same as those shown in the frontispiece of this 
genealogy. That the Trowbridge arms as last described were the arms of the 
Taunton family in the seventeenth century is proved by the fact that they are 
engraved on the tanliard owned by Thomas Trowbridge (No. 2) of New Haven, 
Conn., the second son of Thomas Trowbridge, the primitive settler in America. A 
picture of the tankard, with the arms traced thereon, can be seen on the plate 
facing page 54. 

The plate for the arms as shown in the frontispiece was prepared by the depart- 
ment of heraldry of Tiffany of New York, after exhaustive investigations by the 
compiler, and it is considered by him to correctly depict the Trowbridge arms. 

The description of the Trowbridge arms is: Or, on a liridge of three arches 
embattled, in fess, gules, masoned sable, as many streams transftttent toivards the 
base, proper, a tower of the second, thereon a pennant argent. 

The motto engraved below the arms in the frontispiece was chosen by the 
compiler and it seems to him an eminently fitting one, containing as it does a 
reference to the family name. It is: Sit pons firmus. Let the bridge be firm.

INTEODUCTIOK" 



Trowbridge* lias been used as a surname in England for many centuries, but 
the exact time that it was first so used is uncertain and the authors of diction- 
aries of family surnames do not agree as to its derivation. Bardsley in his 
'"Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames" states that the name was first 
given an individual on account of his residence at Trowbridge in Wiltshire. 
It may be that this was its origin, and that a member of the family removed to 
Devon and gave the same name to his seat in that county, and it is also quite 
possible that some individuals in later times may have assumed the name of 
Trowbridge on account of a residence at Trowbridge, but that an earlier claim 
may be made for its use as a family name seems to be indicated by the history of 
the town of Trowbridge. 

"Trowbridget is a thriving market town situated on a rocky eminence rising 
from the valley of the river Biss, and in resi^ect of population is the largest town 
in Wiltshire. Its history has never yet been fully written, and yet few towns 
have fairer claims to our notice, both on account of the old and interesting asso- 
ciations that are connected with it, as well as from the important position it has 
now assumed for some years as one of the principal seats of the woolen manufac- 
ture in the west of England. 

"The parish of Trowbridge forms part of the hundred of Melksham. On the 
south side it adjoins the hundred of Wherwelsdown and on the west that of Brad- 
ford-on-Avon. It consists of a strip of land some three miles long and on an 
average one mile broad, and contains in all 2,443 acres. It is divided into 
several tithings : on the north is that of Staverton ; on the west that of Trowle ; 
on the south that of Studley; and there is also the town liberty. The town 
itself is situated, as nearly as may be, in the center of the whole parish. 

"Writers on Trowbridge, especially those connected with it, have sought to 
establish for their town a greater antiquity than has generally been conceded to 
it, but until we come to the end of tlie eleventh century we can find no trace of 
the history of this place and then we find it in Domesday Book, where it is called 
Straburg; a strange form of the name, but nevertheless pretty clearly to be 
identified with what we now call Trowbridge. It is as follows : — 

'Brictric holds Straburg. His fatlier held it in the time of King Edward and it 
paid geld for 10 hides. The land is 9 carucates. In demesne are 2 carucates and 7 
serfs. There are 11 villan.s and 6 coscets with 7 oanicates. There is a mill paying 10 
shillings, and 10 acres of meadow and 12 acres of pastin-e. The wood is .5 furlongs 
long and 3 furlongs broad. It was worth £4; it is now worth £8.' [Wilts Domesday, 
p. 131.1 



* The name in the early records is variously spelled : Troubrugge. Trobrugge. Troubrlgge. 
Troubrvge. Troubbridge. Trouhrldge. Trubbridge. Troborldge. Trobrydge. Trobreeg. Troobridg. 
Troblebridge, Trobblebridge. Tbroughbridge. Throw-bridge, Trobruig. Trobridge. Trowbrydge, 
Trowbridge. Sturbrigge, Sturbridge, Turbridge, Strobreidge, Strobridgc. Strowbridge and Straw- 
bridge, the final e being omitted in many cases. Tbe mode of spelling now generally adopted Is 
Trowbridge. „ 

t The following account of Trowbridge is extracted from "Early Annals of Trowbridge. 
by Rev. W. H. Jones. Canon of Salisbury, published in "The Wiltshire Archwologlcal and 
Natural History Magazine" for June, 1S75. 



18 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

"In A. D. 1100, just thirteen years after the completion of the Domesday 
record, Trowbridge (Trobregc) and Staverton are recorded as being in the pos- 
session of Edward of Salisbury, a great Norman noble, who was Vice Comes, or 
sherifi of Wiltshire, and had no less than 38 manors in this county. In a docu- 
ment of the date A. D. 1120-1130 it is enumerated amongst those estates which 
were of his own acquisition in contra-distinction to those which he enjoyed by 
inlieritance, and this looks rather as though he had purchased it. The descent of 
the manor from that time to the present can be easily traced. 

''But though Trowbridge had its castle, in these early days it was but a small 
and unimportant place. That it was but an insignificant town, even fifty years 
after this time, seems evident from the following facts. It is not mentioned 
among the towns in Wiltshire on which rates were levied in 1168 (14 Henry II) 
'to marry the king's daughter' to the Duke of Saxony, nor among those from 
which 'aid' was taken in 1187 (33 Heniy II), by the king's justices." 

It is stated in the preceding sketch of Trowbridge that it was an insignificant 
town in IICS, but in 1158 (4 Henry II) in the Devon Feet of Fines there is 
mention of John Troubrugge.* It would, therefore, seem not unlikely that the 
name had an origin independent from the town of Trowbridge. 

The first syllable of the name Trowbridge is probably derived from the Old 
English word trough, trogh or trou and the Anglo-Saxon irog or troh, a natural 
trough or channel in a stream, and the second syllable from the Old English word 
hrigge, hregge or hrugge (unassibilated brig or hrugg) and the Anglo-Saxon 
hrycg or Iricg.j: 

It is reasonable to suppose that the first individual who bore the name of 
Trowbridge was one who lived near a stream running swiftly in a well-worn 
channel through the arches of a bridge.:}: He may have got his name for some 
feat of daring at or near the bridge, or taken part in its defense. He may 
have received his coat of arms for valor while in command of the defense of 
the bridge in some engagement, and, if so, the color of the bridge in the, arms 
would indicate that the conflict was a sanguinai-y one. 

The copies of documents and records relating to the Trowbridge family in 
England which are printed in this genealogy were selected from a large amount 
of data gathered by Mr. Lothrop Withington of London, whose services were 
engaged to conduct the researches in England which resulted in successfully 
establishing the parentage and immediate aneesti-y of Thonias Trowbridge, the 
primitive settler in America. It wiU be shown that he belonged to the Taunton, 
Somersetshire, branch of the family, and after the proof of his parentage was 
established the main effort of the researches in England was to prove the connec- 
tion between that branch and the other families of the name there and in the 
adjoining county of Devon. Investigations in that line are still progressing and 
the indications are that several generations more will be added to the pedigree of 
Thomas Trowbridge printed in this genealogy. Short as this is, compared with 
the centuries that the name flourished before his birth, his descendants will be 
gratified to know that of ordy a vei-y few of the early New England settlers has so 
much authentic ancestral lineage been proven as is printed here. 

The records show that the Trowbridge family were long seated in Devon, and 
it is said§ that the barton of Trowbridge in the parish of Crediton was in the 
possession of the family in tlie reign of Edward I. 

* The early calendar of the Devon Feet of Fines for Trowbridge is as follows : 
4 Henry II : .John Astur and .To. Troubrugge in Wesfrode. 
13 Henry II : Tho de Troubriggc and Tho Pees in Crediton. 
22 Henry III : Peter de Trobrige and Rlc Pruet in Caddeswelle.

inheritance.

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY J9 

It is su]ipose<:l that a younger braiieli of tlie Devonshire family of Trowbritlfie 
settled in Somersetshire,''''' and many documents relating to it have been found in 
the records of that county. 

It is, however, in the Trowbridge family that is found residing in Taunton, 
Somersetshire, about the middle of the sixteenth century, that most readers of 
this genealogy will feel the chief interest, for from this branch of tlie fiimily, it 
will be shown, sprang Thomas Trowbridge, the primitive ancestor of a very largo 
majority of the Trowbridges in America. 

Taunton stands on the great road leading from Land's End in Cornwall 
to the north of England, lying between Exeter and Bridgewater, thirty-three 
miles northeast of the former and eleven miles south of the latter — the situation 
rendering it the thoroug'hfare from Bristol and Bath to Exeter and Plymouth. 
It has been noted for its manufacture of woolen, and its trade may be traced 
back to the reign of Edward III, who first brought woolen manufactories to 
England. It was with this trade that the Trowbridges of Taunton were so long 
identified. 

"Taunton has ever been a principal town in the county of Somerset. Before 
the modern improvements were introduced, it was deemed well built. Its streets 
are spacious, as it extends over a considerable extent of ground. The houses, 
even in the middle of it, are furnished with good outlets, which contribute much 
to the pleasantness and salubrity of the town, as well as to the convenience of 
its inhabitants. It is a mile long, from east to -west, and its streets have a 
gradual descent to the river. It stands in a fertile and extensive vale, and is 
called by Camden one of the eyes of the county. The county all around is 
beautified with green meadows, abounds in delightful orchards and gardens; is 
enriched ■with 'wood, and peopled with numerous villages, so as to exliibit to the 
eye of the spectator, who approaches the town, a charming scene. The county 
in itself, though, in the w'inter, moist and marshy, is supposed, by some, to derive 
its name (Somersetshire) from the summerlike temperature of the air. The part 
of it in which Taunton is situated has, if not an exclusive, yet a peculiar claim 
to the excellent qualities ascribed to the whole. On account of its fertility, the 
peasantry used to boast that it was so fruitful with the zun and zoil, alone, as 
to need no manuring. This country is called by the inhabitants, Taunton Dean, 
that is the vale of Taunton, and from the high conceit of its pre-eminence above 
other counties, hath arisen a beautiful proverb — 'Whnre slioxdd I he horn, else, 
hut Taunton Dean,' — as if it were a disparagement to be born in any other 
place; and none in England, nay, in the whole world, were to be compared 
with it."t The motto of the town of Taunton is: Defendamus, Let us defend. 

The description of Taunton in Domesday Book is as follows ::j: 

"The Bishop of ■Winchester holds Taunton. Archbishop Stigand held it in the time of 
King Edward, and it paid the geld for tjft.v-four hides and two yard-lands and a half, 
of which there was arable land enough for one hundred ploughs. Besides this the 
Bishop has in demense twenty carucates which never paid the geld and thirteen ploughs. 
There are eighty 'Villans. eighty-two bordars, seventy bondmen or slaves, sixteen coli- 
berti and seventeen swineherds, who render seven pounds, ten shillings, and amongst them 
all they have sixty ploughs." 

"The himdred of Taunton-Deau is divided:}; into three districts, the hundred of 
Taunton market, the infaring division and the outfaring division. Taunton 
market comprehends that part which is distinguished as the borough of Taunton. 
The infaring division is subdivided into the hundreds of Holway, Hull, Poundis- 
ford, Staplegrove and jSTailsbourne and includes the parishes of Taunton- 



■* Somerset, the land of the Svimorseetan, is one of the West-Saxon shires which grew by 
gradual conquest from the M'elsh. The land had no distinct title before the English Coniiuest.

About the middle of the seventeenth century there resided in Tauntfln a family 
of Trowbridges the head of which was Thomas Trowbridge, who was engaged in 
business there for many years as a mercer and was a man of wealth and conse- 
quence in the town. His home was in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen and in

St. Mary Magdalen Church, Taunton, was originally onl.y a chapel dependent on 
the conventual church. In olden times there were seven chantries annexed to 
St. Mary Magdalen Church, and the priests who officiated in them were pensioned 
at the dissolution of the religious houses. The name of W. Trowbridge is given 
as the last incumbent of the Holy Cross fraternity and his yearly pension in 
1553 stood at £4. He may have been Sir William Trowbridge, curate of Euish- 
ton, whose will was proved at Taunton July 4, 1562.

June 27, 1610. "Bill of Complaint of Thomas Trowbridge of Taunton Somerset, mercer, 
that whereas being seized etc of one messuage and dwelling house situate in Taunton 
standinge in the Markett place and bodye of the same Towne nere unto a certen Crosse

house with a shoppe in another remote place in the said towne to which he seeks to draw 
the custom and has shut up the orator's shopp and threatens to let it out for some other

that 3 or 4 years ago the complainant leased the said shoppe to Benjamin Cosyns of 
Taunton, mercer, for complainant's life at £7 yearly who entered in and traded for 2 or 
3 years but said Cosyns shortly after growing in decay was compelled to give said shopp 
over to one James Proctor of London, mercer, the said defendant being his customer and 
chapman has wished him to take over the business which he did with Complainant's 
knowledge, but not being able to furnish it suitably would desire to left it till he is 
more able." [Chancery Proceedings, Mitford, 115, no. 104.] 

From the above bill of complaint it appears that Thomas Trowbridge, the elder, 
was a mercer and a man of wealth. That he was a man of generous impulses and 
public spirit the following account of the well-known Trowbridge Charity, 
established by him, bears witness: 

"On the 4th of December, 1614, Thomas Trowbridge, the elder, of Taunton, 
granted and assigned unto ten trustees two closes or pieces of ground, called 
Tunaways, the one consisting of five acres, and the other one acre, and lying in 
West-Monkton, for the residue of a term of one thousand years, commencing on 
the 28th of September, 1613, upon trust, that out of the rents and profits of the 
said closes, then worth six pounds per annum clear to pasture, there should be 
paid on St. Andrew's Day yearly, unto the churchwardens and overseers of 
St. Marj IVIagdalen, six pounds, whereof they were to pay on tliat day yearly, 
to the churchwardens and overseers of St. James, in or near Taunton, forty 
shillings, to be by them distributed amongst forty of the poorest, oldest, most 
honest, and impotent poor of that parish, by a shilling a-piece ; the same distribu- 
tion to be made on St. Thomas's Day, before Christmas; and within a month 
after such distribtition, the said overseers of St. James to give a note of the 
names of those that received the said benevolence to the churchwardens and 
overseers of St. Mary IMagdalen aforesaid. 

"And that the residue, being four i^ounds, should be distributed by the said 
churchwardens and overseers of St. Mary Magdalen, amongst eighty of the like 
poor of that parish, by one shilling a-piece, the same day ; and a note kept of the 
names of the said poor, and such names delivered in at Easter, before the con- 
stables of the borough of Taunton, two or more of the trustees being called in. 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 



33 



And if the profits amounted to more than six pounds, the residue to be in lilie 
manner distributed amongst the poor of Taunton St. Mary Magdalen, and to be 
accounted for as aforesaid. And if the profits should not amount to six pounds, 
then a proportional abatement to be made on each parish, and the residue to be 
distributed as aforesaid. And when the number of trustees should come to four, 
then a new deed to be made to some person or persons, who should assign tluMr 
interest back again to these four, and as many more as they should think exijcdi- 
ent, the major part to be the most efficient and honest inhabitants of the town of 
Taunton; so that the term might be preserved to the uses aforesaid. And that 
this gift should go on to the increase of the relief of the poor, and not to ease any 
rate or taxation. And the donor desired that the poor should be assembled on 
St. Thomas's Day, at divine service, at their respective parish churches, except 
such as could not; and after the distribution made, the donors name to be men- 
tioned, and they put in mind to thanlc God for His mercy."* 

On the west wall of the south porch of St. Mary's Church is a tablet, about two 
feet sis inches long by one foot three inches wide, painted black, with the 
following inscription in gilt letters :

above terms. 



24 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

In connection with the foregoing account of the charity the following letter 
from Mr. Henry Trowbridge (No. 50) of New Haven, Conn., to his brother 
Thomas will be of interest to members of the family. 

London, January 20, 1860. 

"I visited Taunton yesterday. Immediately on arriving there I went to St. Mary 
Magdalen, sent for the sexton, and inquired for the celebrated tablet, the inscription of 
which .you know. I asked him if he could tell me where our revered ancestor was buried. 
He could not ; for in the restoration of the church all the vaults were filled up and paved 
over. The original slabs over the graves were, except as taken care of by descendants, 
all worked over and placed in the pavement of the side aisles, and nearly all so worn down 
by passing over them as to be entirely defaced. On one the letters TROW on one side 
was distinct, but nothing else could be deciphered. The slab appeared to have been cut in 
two, or reduced to couform in width to the rest of the pavement. I think this was our 
ancestor's slab, but there is nothing certain about it. After spending as long a time in 
and about the church as was desirable. I inquired about the wardens, and where the 
active or leading one lived. I found he was the editor of the Taunton paper, and not far 
off, and so went in search of him, and luckily found him at home and sent up my card. 
He soon made his appearance. I immediately told him I was a direct descendant from 
Thomas Trowbridge, whose good deed was recorded in stone in St. Mary's. He seemed 
much pleased to see me, and at once spoke of the charity as conferring a blessing annually 
upon the poor. I. of course, was all anxiety to know about it, so he brought out the 
book headed TrouJiridge CharUy. in which the annual receipt and distribution is recorded 
and balanced. There has never, from the day of Thomas' death, been a failure to distrib- 
ute the annual income according to the spirit of the will, but not always to the letter. 
For a long time the shillings were given to the poor without calling them together in the 
church, as the will directs ; but Mr. May, the present acting warden, and for many years 
past, a man of about your age and size, and with just your love and veneration for the 
past, determined to restore the former usage in exact conformity to the will, and did so; 
so that now, on St. Thomas' day, 'the poorest, oldest, most honest and impotent poor' 
of the parish of St. Mary Magdalen are assembled at the church, except such as could 
not, when divine service is held and a sermon preached to them, previous to which each 
one receives a shilling ticket, and at the close receives from the rector a shilling on 
presenting the ticket, 'when the donor's name is mentioned and the poor put in mind to 
thank God for his mercy.' The day is wholly given up to this distribution. Mr. May 
says it is a most pleasing duty, and would have gratified me beyond measure to have 
witnessed the last distribution, 21st of December, and regretted exceedingly he did not 
know I was so near, so as to have invited me to it. He says there are always more 
applicants than the fund will supply. Many were eighty years of age, hardly any below 
fifty, who participate. Any surplus remaining over is given in loaves of bread to the 
most deserving, in addition to the shilling piece. But a still greater good results from the 
charity than the temporal relief. It is that these aged and impotent poor who are 
prevented from attending church, perhaps for the whole year, on this day hear the Gospel 
preached, expressly adapted to them, and under the most impressive circumstances, as it 
comes with the charit.v which warms and feeds them. The charity is one of five of a 
similar character, but is the largest, and yielding now £20. Of course I was all anxiety 
to see the land, which I learned was about a mile from town. So Mr. May, leaving the 
rector with whom he was engaged, got into the carriage and drove with me to it. The 
day was beautiful, a bright sun shining, and as we halted in front of the lot, I thought I 
never saw so fair a field. The largest of the two fields contains five acres, and very 
similar to our large lot on the hill, except it rises gently from the highway, instead of 
receding. It is surrounded with a hawthorn hedge, one half in grass and half in cultiva- 
tion. From an old oak in the center of the lot, I gathered some dry leaves which 
entwined it, one of which I send you. The oak is old enough to have sheltered our 
progenitor from the noon day sun, as he walked over his beautiful field. From the 
center I cut a small rod, which I have in a box, and will endeavor to carry safe to you, 
so that there may be a marriage of the lands of tfte Thomas of 1014 and the Thomas of 
1860. The other lot is separated from the one first visited by a strip of land, contains 
one acre, also lying on the highway. Both are precisely as they were when the will was 
made in 1614, in bounds and metes. 

"Is it not strange that a charity founded by will, more than two hundred and forty-five 
years ago, at that time so insignificant, should have continued, unimpaired, and at this 
day shedding a fourfold blessing upon the poor, and for that space of time the land 
remained in the same use as when the donor lived? I could not but think, as the warden 
described the joy of the poor in listening to the religious services, and afterwards, with 
tears, receiving their share of the good man's bestowment, that in him his descendants 
had been blessed. Mr. Jlay said he was glad to have a descendant to render his account 
to, and made a copy of his last account, 1858. (That of 1859 was not closed in the 
parish book.) I send you a copy of it :

"Mr. May said the charge for tickets only occurred once in several years. It is for the 
sliilling ticket given to the poor before the service, which they present at the close for 
the shilling. By the number you may judge of the number of applicants. I have run 
hastily over the items, but have given you enough to show you that your honored 
ancestor's will has been faithfully carried out, and will be for centuries to come, thereby 
showing how much encouragement there is for us all to leave a blessing upon unborn 
generations." 

Mr. Thomas Trowbridge died in Taunton, February 20, 1619-20. By tlie 
provisions of his will, made in the preceding July, and proved May following,

legatee and sole executor.

Pope, Robert Mockridge, John Wrentmore." Proved May G, 1(320. [Prerogative Court 
of Canterbury, Soame, 45.] 

Satisfactory proof of the ancestry of Thomas Trowbridge has not been found. 
He had a brother wlio had a son Thomas, for he mentions the latter in liis wilh 
He may have been a brother of William Trowbridge of Taunton, whose will, made 
in 1575, mentions liis "brother Thomas Trowbridge," as if the latter were well 
linown. John, son of Thomas, afterwards named a son William. Thomas or 
William was probably the father of William, Agnes and Thomasine Trowbridge, 
baptized in St. Mary Magdalen, Taunton, in 1564, 1567 and 1569, respectively. 

The name of the wife of Mr. Thomas Trowlwidge was not found. As is stat«d 
in his will, she died before him and was buried in St. Mary Magdalen Church. 
They had the following 

CHILDREN :t 

i. Alice, bapt. June 24, l!i68; m. Benedict Webb of Kingswood, Wiltshire. 

ii. John. bapt. Mar. 25, 1570. (See next paragraph.) 

iii. DoKOTHY, bapt. , 15 — ; m. Sept. 22, 1594, Robert Godsall of Taunton. 

John Trowbridge, only son of Thomas Trowbridge, seems to have resided all 
his life in Taunton, where from early youth he was in business as a woolendraper. 
As his father's heir, he became at the latter's death the chief Trowbridge in 
Taunton, and was a man of wealth and prominence. In middle age he was elected 
mayor of the town, ajd appears to have been conscientious in performing the 
duties of that office. He was for many years one of the wardens of St. Mary

"The Trowbridges named in the foregoing extracts were Mayor John, his 
father, the merchant Thomas, seemingly described as deceased, and his son 
Thomas, the primitive settler in America. The record appears to be made some- 
where between 1620 and 1640, probably after Thomas Trowbridge had returned 
from New England or be is referred to without any notice of his being absent. 
It was all written at one period excepting the odd names at the bottom of the 
entries which are seemingly the tenants at some later period. The dates in the 
margin merely refer to the amount of the fines at some former period for the 
guidance of the manorial officials."*

through land ownership.

The point is reached where it is projier to present a copy of the most important 
document found by Mr. Withington in his researches in England, naiaiiy the will 
of John Trowbridge, former mayor of Taunton. The following letter from Mr. 
Withington, in which he describes the finding of the proof of the parentage of 
Thomas Trowbridge, the primitive settler in America, shows the value of this 
remarkable discover}- from a genealogical standpoint and serves as the best 
introduction to the will. 

London, IS July, 1908. 
Dear Jlr. Trowbridge, 

I cabled you last evening : "Victory. Withington."' 

The reason for this was the discovery at the last minute at Taunton two or three 
hours before of the enclosed abstract of all now legible in a rotten and faded paper at 
Taunton which is all now left of the much desired will of John Trowbridge the elder, 
unidentified by the officials and of course not in the Calendar. This is the greatest coup 
ever made in this English work on American origins, beating in dramatic completeness 
and overcoming of obstacles work at Somerset House with the magnificent engraved 
parchment books of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. After all these years your 
theory is triumphant. The mention of tlat precious second wife Alice settles the whole 
question of the missing name of the testator, of which the "aper" (all left of "woollen 
draper") is nearly evidence enough, knowing as we do all the Trowbridges in Taunton at 
that time, Thomas and his son John. 

Three of us have had most unseasonable weather, at Wells, Taunton and Exeter; but 
we so organised our work as to give every possible chance of immediate result. At Wells 
we went through every existing transcript of the over five hundred parishes of Somerset, 
largely repulsive, rotten and faded fragments, to find if possible the marriage of John and 
the baptism of Thomas. At Exeter we not only used the diocesan and probate registries 
for the available points, but also the old registries of St. Petrock and St. Kerian, to some 
purpose. Our main attack was however at Taunton where things seemed absolutely 
hopeless after the partial failure of the hopeless muddle in the Castle and the exhaustion 
of every likely name of the probate registry. We saw there was nothing for it but to go 
through the files for a hundred years .and look at every Taunton will and also any odd- 
ments. Hence our triumph. We could only do this, however, with exceptional friendly 
official relations at Taunton, and doing at a moderate estimate three months' work for one 
or one month's work for three in less than a week. My two colleagues were Messrs. 
Noble and Steele. I doubt if any other workers in England would have accomplished the 
result under such apparently absolutely hopeless circumstances. I enclose the John 
Trowbridge will. 

Tours most sincerely, 

LoTHKOP Withington.

It is quite probable that Thomas was the eldest son of John, for there seems 
no gap in the register of John's children, and that assumption would make him 
the correct age to be the husband of his wife, who was bom in 1603, and the 
lawyer, who drew the bill of complaint of John (see p. 29) which calls John, 
Jr., his "eldest" son, may not have known of the absent Thomas. If Thomas 
is regarded as the eldest son of John, there is at once presented the coincidence 
between the names of their sons. John's four sons were, in order, Thomas, 
named after his father, Jolm, after himself, William and James. Thomas's 
four sons were, in order, John, after his father. Thomas, after himself, William 
and James; and these names, it must be borne in mind, were given his first three 
sons while he was living in Exeter.

THOMAS TEOW13RIDGE 

The Primitive Settler in Amkrica and his Family 



Thomas Trowbridge, the first of his family to come to America, was the sou, 
as heretofore showB, of Jolni Trowbridge, a wealthy merchant and prominent 
citizen of Taunton, Somersetshire. His father had long been identifie<l with the 
woolen trade in Taunton, which was noted for its manufacture of that staple, 
and it was natural that the son when he grew up should turn his attention to 
some branch of that industry, and he is found in early manhood established in 
business as a mercer in the neighboring city of Exeter in Devonshire. At the 
time when he took up his residence there he found that the name Trowbridge was 
a well-known and respected one in Exeter, with which members of the family had 
been long identified through business and residence, and there also his sister 
Prudence went to live after her marriage in 1621 to William Mace, a leading 
merchant of the city.* 

In the pedigree of the Mai'shall family of Exeter was found the name of 
"Thomas Trobridge of Taunton." This reference was the clue that led to the 
finding of the record of the marriage of Thomas Trowbridge. 

In the list of marriage licenses issued for the diocese of Exeter it is recorded 
that on March 24. 1627, Thomas Trowbridge of the parish of St. Petrock was 
licensed to marry Elizabeth Marshall of the parish of St. Mai-y Arches. 

In the parish register of St. Mary Arches appears the following entry : 

"26 March 1627 Mr. Thomas Trobrige and Elizabeth daughter of Mrs. Alee 
Marshall widoe married, Jeremy Short parson." 

In the parish register of St. Petroek's, Exeter, are recorded the following :t

William Marshall, wlio had issue Robert Marshall, who married Joan, daughter 
and heir of Owsley of Chillington, county Somerset. His will, dated August 7, 
1576, was proved by her October 9 following. [Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 
Carew, 29.] In it he is described as of Ashewille in the parish of Ikninster, 
and desires to be buried in the churchyard of Ilminster. He gives to his son 
Edmund Marshall his ryn.es and bark and half his tanne vates with a mill to 
grind bark (from this bequest it seems that he was by trade a tanner) ; mentions 
his sons, Jolin, Nicholas, Williaha, John (the ypunger) and Thomas (all under 
age) ; and appoints his wife Joan (who appears to have brought him some prop- 
erty) sole executrix and residuary legatee. He appears to have had two other 
children, Roger and Anne, who may have been twins, born posthumous. His 
wife, as "Joane Marshall," had been named as sister in the will of William 
Owseley of Chillington, near Ilminster, in Somerset, dated October 8, 1558. 
[Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Wells, 22.] 

John Marshall (the younger) probably settled in Exeter in early life. He 
was "the worshipful Mr. John Marshall." He was bailiff of Exeter in 1601, 
sheriff in 1609 and mayor in 1615, retaining afterwards the position of alder- 
man. He married at St. Mary Arches August 30, 1595, Alice Bevys [Bevis or 
Beavis], daiighter of Richard and Elizabeth (Proi.iz) Bevys. 

The Bevys family* is traced in Devonshire to the reign of Heni-y IV. Richard 
Bevys became sheriff of Exeter in 1591, governor of the Guild of Merchant 
Adventurers in 1594 and mayor in 1602, dying August 26 of the latter year. He 
made a deed of trust June 16, 1602, to William Tickle and John Marshall, gent., 
for a benefaction to provide marriage portions during future years to worthy 
young women of several parishes. His wife, Elizabeth Prouz (Prouzc, Prowse, 
Prowze), was probably a relative of Ricliard Prowse, mayor of Exeter in 1578. 
According to the pedigree of Prouz of Chagford, near Exeter, a very old family, 
Richard the mayor was second son of Lawrence Prouz of Exeter and Chagford, 
tlie estate of Chagford going to Lawrence's eldest son, John, who had a daughter 
Elizabeth, apparently of about the age of the Elizabeth married to Richard 
Bevys. The will of Nicholas Bevys, son of Richard, a merchant of Exeter, dated 
November 8, 1612, and proved June 2, 1613, named as one of the executors 
"my brother John Marsliall." Of the otlier sons of Richard Bevys, Peter and 
Richard, the former was the more prominent and became lord of the manor 
of Bishop's Clist, near Exeter. The family is traced in Devonshire to the reign 
of Heni-y IV. 

Mr. John and Alice (Bevys) Marshall had tlie following children baptized at 
St. Mary Arches, Exeter if

The will of "Alice Marshall of the City of Exeter, widow," dated December 30, 
1630, disposed of a large property. She gives "to my son and heir apparent 
James Marshall the manor of Daccombe in the parish of St. Mary Church, county 
Devon; my brother Kichard Bovis; to my daughter Elizabeth Trowbridge £50 
and one piece of plate to the value of £10; my daughter Alice Golde [Gould];

my brotlier Peter Beavis; my sister-in-law Mistress Susanna Beavis; my four 
nephews Richard, William, Peter and Henry Beavis, sons of my brother Peter 
Beavis; son James Marshall to be sole executor." He proved the will February 
24, 1630-1. [Prerogative Court of Canterbui-y, St. John, 23.] 

James Marshall, son of John and Alice, married May 29, 1632, Susanna 
Taylour. He came among the early settlers to Dorchester, Mass., and there is 
mention of his land there.* He was a merchant in Exeter. Savage's "Genea- 
logical Dictionary of New England" calls him of Windsor, Conn., in 1640, and 
say.s, "did not long continue, and, perhaps, was the man, exjiected in vain at 
New Haven, 1643, whece liis estate was valued at £1,000, his family of five heads, 
and his lot transferred in 1651, to Richard Mansfield." This lot was on the 
northwest corner of what is now Elm and Church streets, opposite the Green. 
He may be that "rich merchant" referred to in "Winthrop's Journal." He sold 
his property in Windsor and soon returned to Exeter.f He continued to be 
actively engaged in business there and was elected mayor of the city in 1658. He 
was buried there January 26, 1664-5, and administration on his estate was 
granted to his widow, Susanna Marshall, the following month. 

Mr. James and Susanna (Taylour) Marshall had the following children 
baptized at St. Mary Arches, Exeter::}: 

John, April 16, 1635. 

James, November 26, 1637. 

Richard, April 12, 1640. 

Elizabeth, May 29, 1642 ; buried October 1.3, 1642. 

Samuel, July 9, 1648. 

Joseph, March 31, 1650. 

Sarali, — ; buried July 20, 1656. 

Of the above children James had administration granted on his estate May 
10, 1677, to John Marshall, his In-other, James Marshall, his son, having declined 
to serve. He is described as "James Marshall senior of the city of Exeter, but 
at Guinney in parts beyond sea deceased." Administration "de bonis non" to 
James Marshall, the son, October 16, 1694. [Prerogative Court of Canterbury.] 
Samuel is perhaps identical with "Samuel Marshall of Eremington, county 
Devon, Clerk," whose nuncupative will of July 14, 1681, left his "whole study 
of books," etc., to his mother, Susanna Marshall. Administration on his estate 
was granted to her July 25, 1681.

William Marshall of Dinnington, Somersetshire, uncle of Elizabeth, in his will, 
dated December 1, 1623, mentions, "Elizabeth, Susanna, James, John and 
Kichard, children of my brother John Marshall of Exeter." [Prerogative ("ourt 
of Cantcrbui-y, Byrde, 28.] 

John Marshall of E.xetor, a son of Thomas Marshall, tanner, of Chillington and 
cousin of Elizabeth, in his will, made May 24, 1622, bequeathed "to each of the 
children of my uncle John Marshall, alderman of Exeter, £50." Administration 
was graiited to the uncle John Marshall July 5, 162.3, who was succeeded by his 
widow Alice on March 3, 1628. She was succeeded by her son James on June 17, 
1631. [Prerogative Court of Canterbuiy, Swan. 72.] 

Thomas Marshall, perhaps uncle of Mr. John, was a merchant in E.xcter. He 
was bailiff of Exeter in 1557 and one of the founders of the Merch;uit Adven- 
turers Guild. 

Enough lias been printed here to prove that the family of Elizabeth, the wife 
of Thomas Trowbridge, was one of prominence and wealth in Exeter. 

"That before her marriage Elizabeth was preferred to her sisters, or at any 
rate to her unmarried sister, is shown by her father's will; and that after her 
marriage she was preferred by her mother to her married sisters, and by her 
brother to all his relatives, is shown by their wills. It is to be inferred tliat 
she was kind and helpful by nature."* 

Thomas Trowbridge was engaged in business as a mercer in Exeter, as appears 
by the bill of complaint printed below. Exeter was at that time the emporium 
of thin woolen goods, such as serges, spun and woven in the neighboring towns, 
but finished in the city previous to exportation. 

November 23, 1632, there is recorded this "Bill of Complaint: Thomas Trowbridge of 
the Cittie of Exon mercer for years pa.st hath had dealings with one Robert Gray of 
London mercer and about May 1629 bought of liim or his servants or one of them goods 
to the valewe of £28 or thereabouts to be paid for in 6 monetlis and also about tenth of 
December 1629 goods to the valewe of £31. 10^ also to be paid for in 6 months and did 
give a bill for the payment of the said 2S£ and one other Bill to be paid on 31 May next 
following and in January did pay to said Robert Gray or to James Scadding. Christopher 
Reyner .James Nevell and Lawrence Jones or one of them his servants by the hands of 
Mr. Jolm Burrington &c and said Robert Gray did receive from Mr Randall Manning a 
Bill or obligacon of Mr .Joseph Trowbridge upon said JIanuing and also other bonds 
&c and yC Said Orator at and by the direccon of said Robert Gray did in addition pay 
certain other somes of money to dyuers persons &c &c and yor Said Orat" not now 
having so many dealings with sd Robert &c. sd Robert lias put the sayd I5il]s in a 
suite of lawe &c and harassing your sd orator," &e. Answer of Roljert Gray. [Chancery 
Proceedings. Charles I. B & A,'t 1, 42.] 

Thomas Trowbridge a few years later decided to go to America. He probably 
did not intend to settle permanently in the new country, for when he sailed he 
left his oldest son in England, probably in the care of his father in Taunton. 
He and his wife and two youngest sons on landing in New England went to live 
in Dorchester, near Boston, in Massachusetts. They may have arrived as early 
as 1636, and their choice of Dorchester as a residence may have been made 
through the advice of Thomas Jeffrey,! a friend of Mr. Trowbridge, who had been 
living there since 1634. 

Thomas Trowbridge and his wife are noted in the records of the town and 
church as "Mr." and "Mrs.," a distinction confined at that time to persons of 
established gentility. His wife was a member of the Dorchester church in 1638, 
perhaps in 1637, and their youngest son, James, was baptized there in one of 
those years. The age given for James at the time of his death indicates that he 
was bom in 1636, and as he was baptized in Dorchester, the probability is that he 
was not born in England.

44 TKOWP.rUUGE GENEALOGY 

In the list of members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of 
Boston in 1638 appears the name "Thomas Strawbridge." It seems quite reason- 
able to suppose that this was an incorrect entry for Thomas Trowbridge, as his 
social position and business relations would have made membership in such an 
organization attractive to him. 

The land records of the town of Dorchester contain the following references 
to Thomas Trowbridge. The parcels of land described seem of trifling value in 
comparison with his known means and business interests, and these extracts are of 
importance only in so far as they indicate the approximate time of his arrival 
at and removal from Dorchester. 

"The 2d of January 1637[-8]. It is ordered that the p'tyes vnderwrittPn shall haue 
each of them satisfaction in lieu of the calues pasture from the Burying place towards 
John Phillips — Mr. Trobrige 1 aker."* 

"It is ordered that M^. Trobridge have 2 acres of Marsh in Mr- Ludlowes necke where 
its out of p'priety." 

"March IStli. [1037-8]. The Proportion which each man is to haue in the necke

"The proportion of Cowes Pasture and other lands this side the Riuer. 7 acres, 1 rood, 
20 rods." 

"February 13. ll)3S[-9]. It is ordered that M''^ Clarke shall haue libertie to take in

"October 31, KJSO. It is ordered that M'- Joanes shall haue 1 aker of land nere his

"Nathaniel Duncan Senior sould vnto Anthony Gulliver the IS'i^ of the 11th moneth 
lf>44 about 4 akers and half of land on Capt" neck which was belonging to M'- James 
Marshall of Exeter in old England and was late in the possession of Thomas Trowbridge." 

Thomas Trowbridge and his wife must have found it a considerable hardship 
to live in the newly settled town of Dorchester, accustomed as they were to the 
comforts of a home in a city like Exeter. Their residence in the Massachusetts 
village, however, was not of long duration. 

Thomas Trowbridge probably removed liis household to the plantation of New 
Haven in 1638, but his name is not found anrong those subscribed to the articles 
of agreement at the organization of the church or body politic there in June, 
1639. He may have been absent from New Haven at that time, or, as this 
Fmidamental Agreement, as it was afterwards called, required that, "church 
members only shall be free burgesses," he may not have been eligible to sign it, 
for there is no evidence that he ever severed his connection with the Church of 
England and became a member of the Puritan Church. 

In the New Haven records his name again appears nearly always with the 
prefix of respect, "Mr." In the list of proprietors of the plantation in 1G41 he 
is credited with five heads in his family. These are supposed to have been him- 
.self and wife and three sons, Thomas, William and James. His estate is given 
as £500, a large sum for that place and time, and it was among the larger of the 
123 estates mentioned in tlie schedule. His house lot was on the west side of what 
is now lower State street, just south of George street, Mr. Henry Eutherford,t a 
prominent shipping merchant, being his neighbor on the south. 

On page 29 of the original rate book appears the following : 

"Mr. Thorn : Trowbridge is Dr

"The schedule, though prepared before April, 1641, is found in the record book 
amid the records of 1643. It is not easy to determine whether it was copied into 
the record book in 1643, after some changes had been made corresponding with 
changes of title, or was recorded when first prepared, the secretary reserving for 
his report of the court's proceedings the tliirty pages which precede it. There is 
so much probability that the schedule was recorded before the collection of the

Thomas Trowbridge appears to have spent but little time in this country,:): 
but during his sojourn here he continued to be occupied with extensive trade 
between England, the West Indies and the Colonies. No record was found 
proving the exact date of his return to England, but it was prior to tlie fall of 
1641. He probably was recalled to England on account of business or some 
event of importance, and it may have been business in connection with tlie settle- 
ment of the estate of his wife. The exact date of her death was not found,§ but 
it is to be inferred that she did not long sui-vive her arrival in New Haven, for 
it is not reasonable to suppose, from what is known of her character, that if she 
had been living she could have returned to England with her husband and left 
her three little sons in the care of strangers, and the records show that before 
leaving New Haven Thomas Trowbridge placed his lands, houses, chattels and 
estate in New Haven in trust with his servant or steward, Henry Gibbons, 
for the benefit of his three sons, whom he also left in Gibbons' care. It does not 
appear that he ever returned to America. 

Gibbons gave so little attention to his master's affairs at New Haven and the 
care of his sons, that as early as November, 1641, the colony court ordered an 
attachment to be placed on Mr. Trowbridge's property "to pay the town's rates 
and satisfy the demands of those persons to whom he is indebted." The court 
placed the children under the care of Sergeant Thomas Jeffrey and his wife, who 
were to keep tiem in their home until such time as "their father shall come over 
or send to take order concerning tliem," when tlie court should determine "what 
is equal for him to have for the keeping of them and in the meantime he will 
take care that they be well educated and nurtured in the fear of God." jNlr. 
John Evance took the house, which Gibbons had allowed to fall into need of 
immediate repairs, at £100, and settled the claims of the creditors. 

The references to Thomas Trowbridge in the New Haven records for the next 
few years consist of accounts of the legal complications arising from his 
steward's malfeasance. They are merely teclmical and are not of sufficient 
interest or importance to demand reprinting here.]! That he did not return to 
New Haven and personally take charge of his affairs there was probably because 
matters of greater importance kept him in England.

4e TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

It must be remembered that the Civil War in England began soon after 
Thomas Trowbridge left America. Taunton was taken by the Parliament 
forces in Aug-ust, 1642, and the principal gentiy of the neighborhood, the 
trained bands, the mayor and principal inliabitants of the town, aided with 
horse and foot the intention of securing this place for the Parliament. The 
attempt to secure' and fortify Taunton in the interest of the Parliament soon 
niet witli a temporary impediment and defeat, for in the next year the marquess 
of Hertford drove out the Parliament forces and took possession of it in favor 
of the king. But the fruits of this victory were not lasting, for on July 8, 
16-14, soon after the battle of Marston Moor, Colonel Blake and Sir Robert Pye 
again took Taunton for the Parliament. For some months things remained in a 
quiet state at Taunton, but early in the spring of 1645 an army of ten thousand 
of the king's forces under Lord Goring marched to the attack of the town and 
began what is known as the siege of Taunton. The histoi-y of the siege, ending 
with the final relief of the town, is well known.* 

Thomas Trowbridge after the death of his father came into his inheritance, 
being the only surviving son. He succeeded his father as the chief Trowbridge in 
Taunton, just as the latter had succeeded his father, and that he was a man of 
consequence there, is shown by the prominence given him in the pedigree of his 
wife's family which has been previously quoted. He wrote often to the authori- 
ties at New Haven to bring Gibbons to an account for his breach of trust, but 
Gibbons kept possession of the Trowbridge estates in New Haven for many 
years, and affairs remained thus until the sons came of age. 

They had continued in the meantime to pass their boyhood under the care of 
Sergeant Jeffrey, their father evidently being satisfied with that arrangement. 
They had received a good education mider the instruction of Mr. Ezekiel 
Cheever, the famous colonial sehoohnaster.f who taught the first school in New 
Haven. In the colony records it is noted that at a court held February 8, 1643-4, 
"Mr. Cheever desired 4—3-6 out of the estate of Mr. Trowbridge w'^h is justly 
due to him for teaching y^ children." The course of instruction to be pursued 
by the schoolmaster for his scholars at that time was '"after they are entered 
and can read in the Testament; to perfect them in English; and teach them 
their Latin tongiie as they are capable; and to write." 

Soon after he came of age William Trowbridge endeavored to have an account- 
ing made of his father's estate that was left in New Haven, and for this end 
presented to the court two letters from his father, one dated March 6, 1655, and 
the other March 4, 1658, wherein his father wrote that he "marvells that there 
is not an account of it given." This attempt to recover from Gibbons was a 
failure, but finally, on January 19, 1663-4, Mr. Trowbridge executed and sent to 
his three sons a power of attorney, making over to them jointly and severally his 
property in New England wherever found, to be retained and equally divided 
between them, and bring the said Gibbons to account and punisliment.

The sons sued Gibbons for possession, but as matters were found, a settle- 
ment could not easily be effected before Mr. Trowbridge's death, which occurred 
in Taunton, February 7, 1672-3. The suit was finally settled in 1680 by Gibbons, 
"for sundry good causes best kno\vn to myself," who made a deed of the 
property to Thomas Trowbridge, the younger, to take effect after the death of 
Gibbons. This deed included his house and lot, and sundry other property, 
including "the bed and bolster I lie on."

Thomas Trowbridge^: came in childhood with his parents from England to 
Dorchester, near Boston, in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, and then to the 
plantation of New Haven in New Haven colony. He received his early edu- 
cation from Ezekiel Cheever,§ the famous colonial schoolmaster, and probably 
was under his tuition throughout his school days. When his father was called 
back to England, 'J'homas and his brothers were left in charge of Henry Gibbons. 
a former servant,|| who was so unfaithful to his trust that the property left by 
their father for their maintenance was greatly impaired, and in April, 1644, the 
remainder of the property and the cliildren were placed liy the town authorities 
under the care of Sergt. Thomas Jeifrey** and his wife, friends of their father, 
"to be well educated and nurtured in the fear of God." Under their care Thomas 
Trowbridge passed his boyhood. He later succeeded in obtaining some recovery 
of his inheritance from Gibbons.ft 

On April 4, 1654, not long after his coming of age, the "oath of fidelity" 
was administered to Thomas Trowbridge. About three years later he married the 
daughter of a leading merchant in the colony, and settled down to a life of 
business activity and social and political prominence in New Haven. His home" 
stead was on the north side of the present Water street, between Meadow and 
State streets.:j::|: Across the highway was the sandy beach of the harbor and

there was an unbroken view across to the east shore of the bay. His means 
pemiitted him to buy a home-lot and build a home for each of his sops in the 
neighborhood of his own home. 

Thomas Trowbridge's immediate ancestors, on botli sides, were prominently 
engaged in domestic and foreign trade, as was also his father-in-law. It was 
natural, therefore, that he should turn to a mercantile life and he early entered 
upon a business career. He was an enterprising man, and became a successful 
nierchant and shop owner, trading with England, the West Indies and the Colo- 
nies. By 1662 he had become a prominent merchant, and on June 16 of that year 
"Mr. Eutherford, Mr. Hodshon and Mr. Thomas Trowbridge did freely engage 
to leave and not expo'rt, each of them, twenty bushels, at least, of wheat and 
Indian corn that shall here remain for the supply of such as are in needs, 
provided due payment be made." 

On September 14, 1665, permission was "granted to him by the town to build 
a warehouse on the bankside before his house." On September 6, 1668, "Mr. 
William Eosewell and Mr. Thomas Trowbridge were granted liberty to cut 
timber on the Common for the building of a vessel." In November, 1682, "Mr. 
Thomas Trowbridge requested' land by the water side for a warehouse west of 
Mr. Samuel Bache's warehouse or else on the east side of it." The town granted 
a site "on the east side twenty-two feet in breadth, thirty feet from high water 
mark upwards and two or three rods into the flats."* The following January 
he was granted permission to build a wharf at that place, "the Tovm ordering 
that it shall be free for any of the town to land upon and not pay for, provided 
that it do not hinder Mr. Trowbridge's own occasions." This wharf was located 
at the present comer of State and Water streets, and together with Mr 
Bache's was the beginning of Union, or as it is popularly known. Long 
wharf. Besides the land where he lived and that used for his business enter- 
prises Mr. Trowbridge owned a large amount of real estate in various sections 
of the town, and there are many deeds to and from him in the New Haiven 
land records. 

"Mr. Thomas Trowbridge has liberty from ye Town to purchase from ye Indians, land 
on East side of ye harbor, beginning north at or about Elsies Creek, west & south

Thomas Trowhridge in early manhood began to receive recognition politically 
from his fellow citizens and from that time on he was much employed in the 
public business. On October 1, 1653, he was chosen "watch sentinel." and dur- 
ing the next ten years frequently served as juryman and in minor official posi- 
tions. In 1G67 lie was county treasurer and the town constables appointed his 
warehouse as a place for bringing in the rates for county taxes. He was 
nominated and made a "freeman'' of Connecticut May 20, 1668.* In August, 
1673, with the prospect of a war with the Dutch, the general court ordered the 
respective troops in the colony to be fitted out for service, and November 28 of 
that year Thomas Trowbridge was made commissary of the expedition to be

sent against the Dutch at New York.* Peace between England and Holland 
was declared, however, in time to prevent any of the Connecticut troops entering 
upon active service. Thomas Trowbridge was confirmed lieutenant of the New 
Haven Troop May 20, 1675, f and probably saw active service in King Philip's 
War, for it is known that from the outbreak of the war in June, 1675, 
imtil the Sachem's death in August, 1676, New Haven was in constant danger 
of attack by the Indians and suffered from frequent alarms. At a town meeting 
held September 24, 1675, Lieutenant Trowbridge and several other prominent 
citizens were chosen a "committee to consider and erect some fortifications at 
the meeting-house .... and in other places about the town as they .... 
agree." During the war frequent calls were made on New Haven for troops 
and supplies, and Lieutenant Trowbridge was active in seeing that the town 
furnished its quota of both. 

Mr. Trowbridge was treasurer of the town in 1679 and 16S0. In the latter 
year he was chosen "townsman," or selectman, and held that office eight years, 
being first selectman during several terms. He acted as agent for the town in 
the purchase of much land for the town from the Indians, thus ending Indian 
ownership of land within the boundaries of the town of New Haven. 

, "The towne was iuformed that whereas ye Indians had been claiming ye lands or much 
of it on ye East side ye harbor & river, as if it had not been sold to us or our prede- 
cessors &. Mr Thomas Trowbridge, having an opportunity to buy off their claymes, 
informed ye townsmen, who did encourage ye business & desyred him to buy off all ye 
Indian claymes, that if it might be to prevent all trouble or inconvenience to ye towne 
on that account ; & that now ye said Trowbridge had bought of ye Indians their right 
in any land from Stoney River unto Malbon's Cove, as by a deed bearing date ye 20"" 
day of April 1683 doth more fully appear in ye particulars & bounds thereof, which 
deed was now read to ye town, and they were well satisfied with what was done & 
desired Mr Trowbridge to finish another part of our bounds with those Indians who 
claim from Oyster River to Malbon's Cove & so westward & northward, that if it might 
be all Indian claimes of Land in our township might be at an end. The said Mr Trow- 
bridge said he would issue it with what speed he could." 

In 1681 "the town requested Mr. Thomas Trowbridge to prevail, if possible, 
with Mr. Hodges, the owner, to give them the trial of a bell which was brought 
in a vessel to the town." "At a town meeting held April 25, 1682, the beU 
. . . . being now hanged in the turret, it was ordered tliat the townsmen 
would .... draw up, etc., what times and in what manner it should be 
used." lie was made a justice of the peace in 1687. 

New Haven and Connecticut were not invaded during the French and Indian 
War, caused by the expulsion of the Stuarts from England, but performed their 
due part in that struggle. On May 13, 1690, the general court ordered that a 
committee, of which Mr. Thomas Trowbridge was chairman, "should prepare and 
provision a vessel for the relief of the army at Albany." From 1690 to 1697 he 
was regularly nominated for "assistant." He failed of election to that office, 
but was appointed by the court from 1690 to 169.3 commissioner for New 
Haven.:}: He was also a member of the New Haven Proprietors Committee for 
many years. Gov. Benjamin Fletcher of New York, writing to the Committee 
of Trade of London on November 10, 1693, states that, "Major Palmer, Mr. 
Bulkely, the two Eosewells and Mr. Trowbridge are gentlemen of the best edu- 
cation, sense and estates amongst them [the Connecticut people]. They, with 
many other well affected people, have suffered very much by the arbitrary, illegal

of the scarcity of powder it is desired and agreed that Mr. Thomas Trowbridge 
do procure for tlie Colony's use eight barrels of powder, if it can be obtained." 
At the May session of the general court in 1698 Mr. Trowbridge was appointed 
a justice of the quoi'um.* 

Mr. Trowbridge had eai-ly taken a deep interest in educational matters in New 
Haven. At a meeting held February 7, 1668, the Rev. Mr. Davenport described 
Governor Hopkins' bequest for a "grammar or collegiate school" in New Haven 
and its conditions, and asked, "whether they would send their children to the 
school to be taught for the fitting of them for the service of God in the church 
and commonwealth; if they would, then Mr. Hopkins' grant to the town stands 
good, but if not, it is void." Mr. Trowbridge and several other prominent citi- 
zens declared their intention of sending a son or kinsman to the school. With 
this assured support, Mr. Davenport, the following April, executed the deed of 
trust which established the Hopkins Grammar School, an institution which has 
ever since filled an important part in the educational development not alone of 
New Haven but of the whole country. In 10S.3 Mr. Trowbridge was chosen a 
trustee of the school and served on that board until his death, being treasurer of 
the school during the year 1695-6. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a regular attendant at the First Church meeting-house 
on the public square and is mentioned in the church listing of February 20, 
1661-2, as "seated in the fourth of the short seats at the upper end." Mrs. 
'J'rowbridge sat iii the third seat on the opposite, or women's side, of the church. 
Mr. Trowbridge was admitted a member of the church April 3, 1687. 

Thomas Trowbridge was buried in the original town burial ground on the 
Green in the rear of the first meeting-house. His grave was situated in that 
part now included in the crypt of the present Center Church, and there, and in 
the church edifice above, can be found monuments to himself and many of his 
family. His tablet monument is in the crypt. It is a slab of brown sandstone, 
six feet and three inches long, by three feet wide, raised on a block three feet 
high. It was imported from England. It bears tliis inscription :

Haven; married November 29, 1769, in New Haven, Anna Sherman, daughter 
of James and Sarah (Cook) Sherman, born February 12, 1749, in New Haven; 
died April 12, 1827, in New Haven. 

Caleb Trowbridge made his home in his native town and turned to the sea for 
an occupation, becoming a captain of a vessel at an early age. At the outbreak 
of the Revolution he had become a well-known man in his profession. The 
Second Company, Governor's Foot Guard, had been organized shortly before 
the Lexington alarm and it volunteered for service, being out twenty-eight days. 
He was commissioned captain of this company, succeeding Benedict Arnold 
(then appointed a colonel) May 1, 1775. Soon after he received a captain's 
connuission he returned to New Haven, and in a few days raised a fine company 
of volunteers. He employed a man named Fitzgerald to teach them the manual 
exercise, and they met for that purpose in Captain Trowbridge's parlor, which 
for a time was changed into a drill- room. He served until his discharge Decem- 
ber 10. He re-entered the service the following year and served with the 1st 
Regiment of Continentals under General Wooster at the siege of Boston. He 
was commissioned on January 1, 1776, captain in Jedediah Huntington's regi- 
ment, the 17th Continentals, after the siege of Boston and marched under 
Washington to New York. He was ordered to the Brooklyn front and took part 
in the battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776, and near Greenwood cemetery he 
and most of his company were surrounded by the enemy and taken prisoners.ft 

Captain Trowbridge's term of service expired December 31, 1776, but "he was 
a prisoner nearly two years, a part of the time on Long Island, and the remainder 
in the old sugar house on Liberty street, which was removed but a few years 
ago. It was his unwillingness to yield to the wishes of his captors that caused 
him to be detained so long a prisoner, as an officer of equal rank was frequently 
offered in exchange. The British demanded that he should not again take up 
arms against them, a consideration to which he would not agree. On the con-

trary, he told them that as soon as he should get his liberty, he would 'be at 
them again.' His imprisonment was much easier than it would have been had 
not his wife* sold her plate, and found means to forward him the money to Long 
Island, with which he purchased many privileges that were denied to other 
prisoners. Upon his release he returned to New Haven, and after waiting some 
time for a major's commission, which had been promised him, he became 
impatient, repaired to Boston, and taking out letters of marque, commenced a 
warrior's life upon the sea. After remaining in this calling awhile, he again 
returned to New Haven. A company of citizens had fitted out a vessel for the 
West Indies, which was upon the point of sailing when the British cruisers made 
their appearance. The vessel was taken above the bridge, and shot fired at her, 
in order to sink her, and thereby prevent her falling into the enemy's hands, 
when, by some accident, she took fire and burnt to the water's edge. The hull 
was soon after raised, built into a brig, and fitted out for a trading voyage to 
Holland, and Captain Trowbridge put in command. She was well armed, and 
took several prizes. She made two voyages to Amsterdam in the most exciting 
period in the war, when the ocean was covered with British cruisers, in search of 
French, Spanish, Dutch and American vessels. The name of this little vessel 
was The Fire Brand, from the circumstance of her having been built from a 
burned hull."t 

"The house of Captain Trowbridge, on the corner of "Water and Meadow 
streets, did not fare as well at the time of the British invasion of New Haven 
as did that of his cousin Eutherford. It was furnished with unusual elegance 
for those days, and was replete with conveniences and luxuries, and the cellar 
was stored with choice wines and liquors. The enemy, on learning that the 
owner was the commander of a war vessel cruising against British commerce, 
sacked his house, and brought his fine furniture out to the street and burned it. 
Long afterward when the house was undergoing repairs, bullets were found in 
the ceiling and the wainscoting which had been fired into tlie building by the 
British."^ 

The following anecdote of Captain Trowbridge strongly illustrates his firm- 
ness and decision of character: — • 

"Before the war Trowbridge and Arnold had some account together, the settle- 
ment of which led to a dispute. They parted, Arnold saying, 'You meet me 
to-morrow morning at — o'clock (naming the hour), and we will settle it.' Mr. 
Trowbridge supposed him to be joking, and thought no more of it. Early the 
next morning he was called from his bed by two gentlemen, who requested to 
see him on particular business, and when informed that Arnold had repaired to 
the spot designated by him the day previous, he was much surprised, but 
expressed his determination to meet. Nor were entreaties to dissuade him from 
it of any avail. Upon repairing to the swamp, just west of the present resi- 
dence of Dr. Totten, he found Arnold waiting for him. He advanced towards- 
him, when Arnold drew two pistols, and told him to choose one of them. He was 
much surjirised, but not frightened, and without giving time to Arnold to guard 
himself, rushed upon him and wrenched both pistols from him, throwing them 
into the creek, and told him to go home; an order which he was not long in 
performing."f 

Captain Trowbridge was elected a member of Hiram Lodge, No. 1, F. and 
A. M., of New Haven in 1767.

share of that article used in the Eevolution was produced on that site and was 
sent to Enfield to be used in the manufacture of powder. He was a man of 
sterling integrity and worth. He was an intimate friend of President Dwight 
of Yale College. He was admitted a member of the First Church October 26, 
1788, the first admission under Rev. James Dana. His wife Dorcas had been 
admitted February 25, 1781. He was one of the early members of Hiram Lodge, 
No. 1, F. and A. M., of New Haven, being elected in 1765. His gravestone in 
the Grov'e street cemetery is a fine example of the old-fashioned sandstone monu- 
ment and recites that "He met death, not as a king of terrors, but as a messenger 
of peace." 

"Rutherford Trowbridge was an earnest patriot during the Revolution. At 
the time of the British invasion of New Haven, -^vlien the alarm was given that 
the British were coming, he placed his wife and children in a boat at the dike 
just east of his house, and sent them up the Quinnipiack river to the north side 
of the town, where they left the boat and followed a road plan he had marked 
out for them until they reached the 'Woodbridge oak,' a well-known land- 
mark.* The family left in so much hurry that a batch of bread put 
into the oven to bake was left there. Having thus provided for their 
safety, Mr. Trowbridge took his musket, an old 'king-'s arm,' with powder- 
horn and bullet-pouchjf all of which had done good service in the French 
War in Canada, and went out with the volunteers to West Haven. He 
with others went down towards West Haven green and attacked the British. 
He was accustomed to say that 'after crossing west bridge, every man seemed 
to be fighting on his own hook.' When the enemy came on in force and were com- 
pelled to march up to Hotchkisstown, he went to the hills at their left and 
aided in annoying them by firing from behind trees and walls. He said that 
the British kept together and did not attempt to pursue tlieir assailants on the 
hill sides, but returned the fire whenever they could see the patriots, and that 
bullets came whizzing abundantly past the heads of those who were behind the 
trees. After the enemy gained possession of the town, Mr. Trowbridge was there, 
but did not dare to go to his own house lest he should fall into their hands. His 
house was in plain sight from another, since known as the Totten house, at the 
corner of West Water and Meadow streets. At this latter place, then inhabited 
by Capt. Thomas Rice, who was a Tory, General Garth and other British officers 
were entertained. Captain Rice was a strong personal friend of Mr. Trow- 
bridge, though they differed diametrically as to public affairs. Some of the 
British officers noticed the house of Mr. Trowbridge and asked, 'Who lives there?' 
On hearing the name of the owmer, and that he was what they called a rebel, 
and also that he had a brother who was a captain in the 'rebel' army, and a near 
relative who was in command of an armed brig holding a letter of marque and 
cruising against British commerce, they gave orders to visit the house. Captain 
Rice, desirous of saving his friend's property, interceded, saying that the family 
had been gone from town for some time, and that the house was shut up, where- 
upon the order was countermanded and the house escaped visitation. On the 
return of Mr. Trowbridge and family, after an absence of two days, everything 
was found undisturbed, even to the bread in the oven."J

Eoswell Trowbridge was a shipmaster and merchant, being in partnership with 
his brothers Isaac and Richard in New Haven, Conn., the firm being known as 
Isaac Trowbridge & Co. He was elected a member of Hiram Lodge, No. 1, F. 
and A. M., of New Haven, in 1811. 

"While pursuing his vocation as captain during the War of 1812, on a voyage 
from New Haven to St. Bartholomew, then a neutral port, in the West Indies, 
some four days after sailing from New Haven, he was captured by a British 
vessel of war, on board of which was the admiral of the fleet. Captain Trow- 
bridge was ordered on board of the frigate with his papers. His vessel was laden 
with a general assortment of American produce and a deck load of oxen and 
sheep. The admiral, on ascertaining Captain Trowbridge's name, claimed that 
he was a British subject, but, on being assured that he was born in America, he 
did not press his claim in that respect; but from the fact of his name being the 
same as that of the old adnural,§ with whom he had formerly sailed and fought 
under, he treated him very kindly, and although he would have been justified in 
making his vessel and cargo a lawful prize, he paid him liberally for all his 
stock and what produce he took, which he transferred to his own ship; and 
when Captain Trowbridge, finally, separated from him, sent a boat loaded with 
delicacies and many things valuable as a token of his respect. Captain Trow- 
bridge immediately sailed for New Haven, where he arrived in eight days after 
leaving the post, to the surprise of his friends, they supposing he had lost every- 
thing by capture. 

"Captain Trowbridge was a universal favorite with all who made his acquain- 
tance at home or abroad. In his long experience as a sea-faring man many 
incidents occurred which are interesting to his friends. At one time he had 
safely arrived with a valuable cargo at Guadaloupe. On the night of his arrival 
a violent hurricane arose, wliich destroyed a large portion of the town and drove 
every vessel to sea or on to the shore, and there was a great loss of life among the 
seamen. Anticipating the gale, he had jiut to sea, but soon after his vessel was 
capsized, and for a long time remained thus, but finally righted with the loss of 
her masts and most of her rigging and spars. After the gale abated he dis- 
covered that he was near St. Domingo, which he soon after reached. For

months he had to remain there, without being able to communicate with his 
friends. Nearly all of his crew, wliieh had escaped death by the gale, died of 
yellow fever, but Captain Trowbridge by his skill and perseverance made new 
masts, and so fitted up his vessel as to enable him to sail for New Haven, where 
he arrived, after six months' absence, and his return was a cause of great rejoic- 
ing to his friends and family, as he was supposed to have been lost in the 
hurricane."*

33. Henry Trowbridge (Ihithcrford}^, Daniel^, Thomas*, Thomas^. Thomas^), 
born July 30, 1781, in New Haven, Conn. ; died October 7, 1849, in New Haven ; 
married January 1, 1800, in New Haven, Harriet Hayes,t daughter of Ezekiel 
and Mary (Hemingway) Hayes, born March 1, 1789, in New Haven; died 
November 21, 1851, in New Haven. 

Henry Trowbridge at the age of eighteen years, in common with a large num- 
ber of New Haven lads at that time, turned his attention to the sea. Fabulous 
accounts were current of the various customs of foreign countries, and there was 
an almost universal desire on the part of the boys to visit those countries. To 
become a seaman and command a vessel was a laudable ambition. Just at that 
time a ship was fitting out for the Pacific on a sealing voyage. Having obtained 
permission of his father for the voyage, he made application for a situation on 
board the ship, and was successful ; but it was no easy thing to obtain a situa- 
tion on one of those voyages. In due time the ship was ready. His father had 
such confidence in his son, that he gave him what ready money he had (which was 
scarce in the family at that time), about $1,000 in specie, to invest in China, 
where the ship was eventually to proceed. Embarking on board, September 17, 
1799, his career commenced in the ship Betsey, William Howell, master, for the 
Pacific and China. Captain Howell was a man that felt responsibility for those 
under his command, and immediately commenced a school on board of the ship. 
The boys were all expected to attend to their studies as a part of their duties on 
shipboard. Henry was acquainted with aritlmietic, and soon made such pro- 
ficiency in navigation, that by the time the ship arrived off Capo Horn he could 
work his lunar observation as speedily as the captain. In a few months he was 
well instructed in all the duties on board and could take his regular trick at the 
wheel.:!: 

The crew was to seal at Massafuero, the ship lying off and on, there being no 
anchorage at the island. On one of the boat's trips to the shore she capsized, and 
of the four boys who manned her three were drowned. Toung Henry alone was 
saved, by swimming nearly two miles to the island. After several months at the 
island, 110,000 fur seal skins had been put on board, and the ship sailed for 
Canton, where the skins were to be disposed of, visiting the Sandwich Islands 
(where they dare not anchor for fear of the natives) for supplies. The vessel lay 
off and on for several days. The king came on board, and supplied provisions in

exchange for such articles as were required on the island. The king was so 
unsophisticated that he sat flat on the deck and toolc his sea biscuit and cup of 
molasses. This was about twenty years after tlie murder of Captain Cook at the 
same island. After supplying the ship the voyage was continued to Canton. 
Studies were continued on this passage again. On ajmving at the anchorage, 
Captain Howell sent for Henry to come to the cabinr This was a place unlmown 
and unvisited during the entire voyage. What was wanted of him he could not 
imagine; but soon Captain Howell inquired, "How would you like to go up to 
Canton with me ?" Captain Howell, as was customary at that time, was to take 
a factoiy and dispose of his cargo, and buy a cargo of tea, etc., for a return 
\oyage. Henry, not knowing what position he was to occupy, said he preferred 
to remain in the ship. Said the captain, "I have noticed your good conduct and 
sobriety on board, and your acquaintance with mathematics, and I want a clerk 
to assist me in taking an account of the cargoes, and keeping the books." Henry 
readily saw that this was such duty as would suit, and he eagerly accepted the 
offer, as he saw the advantage it would give him for investing his father's money. 
The captain told him to get readj' to go with him. He was shortly ready, and 
was taking his usual place at the oar, when the captain addressed him, "Mr. 
Trowbridge, come aft, you will let a sailor take the oar." This was done some 
fifteen or twenty miles below Canton, at Macao, ships not being permitted to 
approach nearer to the city. Arriving at Canton, he was installed as clerk of the 
factory. This was the beginning of his life as a merchant, which he never lost 
sight of in after years. The cargo was disposed of, and a return cargo procured 
and sent with the ship. 

During his residence at Canton he determined to get within the walls of the 
city; foreigners had never been permitted there up to that time. Filling his 
pockets with the small currency of the country, he went up to the gates, and at 
the time they were opened, with another young man of his own age belonging to 
another factory, he rushed in and up the principal street. Soon there was a great 
out-cry in the unintelligible language of the country, and immense throngs of 
Chinese blocked up the way, front and rear. They saw they could not progress 
farther, nor could they get back, but by use of their money, throwing handsful 
as far as possible, and, in the scramble for it, gradually retreating, they got out 
safely. This was in ISOl, and about as early as any foreigners had got into the 
city. After the ship was loaded the captain and Heni"y returned on board ; the 
mate of the ship innnediately saluted Henry, by saying, "Off with those shore 
duds and resume duty as a sailor." This was done; — to hear on board that ship 
was to obey. Stowing his adventure in his berth in the forecastle, he slept on top 
of his chest for the remainder of the voyage ; and that chest is now preserved 
as an heir-loom in the family. On the passage home the ship struck a rock in 
the Straits of Malacca and injured her rudder, so that it was necessary to remain 
there to repair. During this time excursions were made to Malacca for water, 
and, after several hair-breadth escapes from the natives, the water was procured, 
and the ship sailed for New York; arriving safely, making a fine voyage, the 
adventure of Henry resulting in the doubling of his money invested in Canton. 

On the return of the ship his services were wanted as first officer of a West 
Indiaman. Making several voyages, he accumulated snflicient in three years to 
purchase a small sloop on the Connecticut river ; and fitting her up as a schooner, 
with the assistance of John Morris, Jr., who was interested in the voyage, loaded 
her for the West Indies. He took charge of her as captain, and sailed for Bar- 
bados, as a market, with forty oxen on deck. Just before the vessel was ready 
for sea he was taken sick ; but seeing ruin before him if the voyage was broken 
up, he was carried on board on a mattrass, and the vessel sailed. After a some- 
what lengthy passage, arriving at Barbados, he learned that Miranda's expedition 
was fitting out at Trinidad for the Spanish Main, and thinl^ing that they would 



78 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

require his cattle, he sailed at once, and, arriving just in time, sold them for a 
large price for the expedition, and the rest of his cargo for a round sum. He 
loaded a return cargo of sugar and molasses, and bringing more Spanish dollars 
home than his outward cargo cost, he arrived safely, having made a fine voyage. 
lie then established himself in business, employing the vessel in the West India 
trade. 

Mr. Trowbridge increased this West India business from time to time, and in 
partnership with his nephew Timothy Dwight est.ablished the firm of Trowbridge 
& Dwight. In 1831 his eldest son, Thomas, was admitted to partnership and 
the firm's name was changed to Trowbridge, Son & Dwight; being changed to 
Trowbridge, Sons & Dwight after the admission of his son Henry. Mr. Dwight 
retired in 1847, and the firm then became H. Trowbridge & Sons, which was con- 
tinued until his death. After his death the same business was continued by his 
sons in the name of Henry Trowbridge's Sons. 

The following notices of Mr. Trowbridge appeared in the New Haven Palla- 
dium and New York Independent, at the time of his decease: 

"We regret to be obliged to iumounce to-day the death of Henry Trowbridge, Esq., one 
of our elderly and substantial citizens, — a lineal descendant of one of the proprietors of 
the town — for a long period the head of one of the largest shipping houses in the state, 
and widely known to commercial men throughout the country and, to a considerable 
extent, abroad. He was a prudent and sagacious merchant, and by means of his talent 
and his wealth exercised a great influence in our community. He was rather strong in 
his prejudices, and when he had taken a stand, whether it happened to be a popular or 
unpopular position, ho, believing it to be right, was immovable in it. For this reason he 
was strongly opposed by a portion of his fellow citizens — but whether right or wrong in 
his views, his opponents, we believe, never doubted the honesty of his intentions and the 
integrity of his character. We have met with Mr. Trowbridge on many occasions during 
the last twenty years, and have combatted some of his opinions and opposed some of his 
mea.sures, but in all such differences we never experienced anything but kindness and 
courtesy at his hands. We have always regarded him as our friend, and in this we are 
sure we have not been mistaken : and we doubt not that there are hundreds who can 
speak as confidently in the same way. Mr. Trowbridge was a member of the Center 
Church, of which the Rev. Dr. Racon is pastor, and we have always understood that he 
was among the most liberal in his gifts for the spread of the Gospel and other religious 
and charitable causes. We understand that he has left several handsome bei|uests to the 
different benevolent and religious societies of the day. Those who know with what 
peculiar fondness he regarded his family, and how devoted he ever was to their welfare 
and happiness, will appreciate the nature of the affliction that has fallen upon them, — 
but here we may be trespassing beyond our province, and we venture no farther. 

"The departure of so prominent and active a citizen and merchant will create a void 
that will be noticed with sorrow for a long time to come. His sickness was of two 
weeks' continuance, during which he suffered but little, and his mind, up to the hour of 
death, retained that vigor which characterized him while in health. Through his sick- 
ness he was sustained by the consolations of the religion of which he had long been a 
professor, and his death was peaceful and happy." [Palladium.] 

"Henry Trowbridge, Esq., who died on the 7th instant, aged G8, was widely known as 
the senior partner of the first commercial house in his native city. For many years past 
his firm — H. Trowbridge & Sons — has been frequently spoken of as the head of the West 
India business in the United States. Two hundred years ago, when the settlers of New 
Hiiven began to establish commercial relations with the West India Islands, his first 
American ancestor was engaged in the same business. From his early youth Mr. Trow- 
bridge was closely attached to the Church in which his ancestors worshipped and in which 
he himself had been presented to God in baptism by parental piety. Forty years ago, 
when he had never made any religious profession, his house was in affliction. His wife 
was on the bed of sickness, and their first-born, and only child, was near to death. He 
sent for his pastor (the now venerable Professor Stuart), and requested that the child 
might be baptized. The request Avas declined. 'You.' said the pastor to the parents, 
'make no profession, and exhibit no evidence of having given yourselves to God ; what 
will it be then more than a solemn but empty form for you to offer your child in 
baptism?' Some parents, in such circumstances, would immediately go to another 
church ; but these parents took a different course. On that day they resolved, and 
pledged themselves to each other, that they would seek the kingdom of God. On that day 
the father, for the first time, by the mother's bed-side, lifted up his voice in prayer, and 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 79 

from that day, to the day ot his death, prayer was habitually offered in their dwelling. 
Though for more than thirty years afterwards he felt that his religious character was not 
sufficiently clear to justify him in making a religious profession, his family was thence- 
forward a religious family: and few families have been happier, or have shared more 
largely in the blessings of the covenant. The sagacity and energy of Sir. Trowbridge as 
a man of business, and the success of all his undertakings, were proverbial. It was 
remarked that his ships always made prosperous voyages, and that seeming reverses 
generally turned in his favor. In his family too he seemed to be exempted from those 
calamities which come to all. But, during the last season, he has been made acquainted 
with affliction. His only brother, who had been for more than thirty years his next door 
neighbor, died at a moment's notice. Three of his grand-children were taken away, two 
of them in circumstances peculiarly afflicting. At last sickness came nearer still, his 
wife and his youngest daughter were brought simultaneously to the brink of death. 
They were spared, but before they had begun to recover, the fatal disease had fastened 
upon him. Doubtless these successive strokes of affliction were necessary to prepare him 
for the closing scene. That they had that effect was obvious to all that saw him. 
Having arranged all his secular affairs at the commencement of his sickness, he dismissed 
the world entirely from his thoughts, and waited for the will of God. When it appeared 
at last that he must die, he gave his parting farewells and counsels to his children and 
grand-children, and then, calmly, cheerfully, and with an humble reliance on the Saviour, 
yielded himself to death. For many years he had been a regular contributor to many of 
our religions charities. In his last will he bequeathed to the American Board of Foreign 
Missions $5,000 ; to the American Home Missionary Society $5,000 ; to the Bible 
Society $2,000 ; to the Tract Society $2,000 ; to the Seamen's Friend Society $2,000 ; to 
the First Church in New Haven, for the use of the poor, $2,000; with other charitable 
bequests, amounting in all to more than $20,000." llndepcndcnt.'\

Capt. William and Elizabeth ? ( ) Miles, born September 1, 1780, in New 

Haven ; died March 3, 1866, in Racine, Wis. 

John T. Trowbridge at an early age entered on a seafaring life. He rose in 
his profession, and while still a young man became a ship master, sailing out of 
New Haven. He was elected a member of Hiram Lodge, No. 1, F. and A. M., in 
1808, and later of Franklin Chapter, No. 2, R. A. M., of New Haven. 

During the War of 1812, while captain of the ship Thomas of New Haven, 
his vessel was captured off the Isle of France by a British squadron, which, 
after taking from the ship all hands, except Captain Trowbridge, Mr. Charles 
Peterson of New Haven, who was his brother-in-law and first officer, and Ben- 
jamin Applewhite, the cook, put a prize crew of twenty-one men on board, and 
ordered her to the Cape of Good Hope as a prize. On the passage. Captain 
Trowbridge and Mr. Peterson planned her recapture, and succeeded in their 
design, and proceeded to Madagascar, where they put the prize crew of English 
on shore, having induced some Lascars, composing a portion of the prize crew, 
to join them as seamen after the recapture of the ship. Here the ship was cap- 
tured again by a French frigate, under the Berlin and Milan decrees, and sent 
to the Isle of France. The French governor restored the ship and part of the 
cargo to Captain Trowbridge. While lying there the island was taken by the 
British. 

Captain Trowbridge succeeded in selling the ship and cargo, to avoid confisca- 
tion, and made his escape to Batavia. After an eventful period of a year or two 
there, and a most daring enterprise on the coast of New Holland, where he 
recovered, " by the aid of divers, upwards of $250,000 in specie from a sunken 
wreck, he was again captured, with all his specie, by his old enemies, the British, 
being taken by a frigate and carried to Java, and afterwards to Calcutta, where 
lie was imprisoned in the famous Black Hole of that city. Finally he was taken 
to England, as a prisoner of war, and confined in Dartmoor prison, where he was 
at the time of the massacre of April 6_. 1815. On the news of peace, Captain 
Trowbridge was released, on the 10th of April, and arrived at New York June 5, 
1815, after having been absent five and a half years. 

Fond of enterprise, he removed to the West, and settled at Rochester, N. Y., 
in 1816, where he was for many years at the head of the well-known commercial 
house of John T. Trowbridge & Co. While engaged in business in Rochester, 
he established a branch in Oswego. He also had an interest in the Erie canal, 
and owned or controlled about eighteen vessels on the Lakes, and was called the 
"Commodore of the Lakes."

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 81 

After accumulating an ample fortune, the vicissitudes of life again followed 
him in the loss of property, and in 1836 he removed with his two youngest sons to 
Eacine county, Wis., and took up land in Dover, twen ty miles west of Racine, on 
the shore of Lake Michigan, and six miles east of Burlington, now a thriving 
town, on Fox river, which crossed the west end of the county. The main traveled 
road between these two places ran across all three of their farms, which were 
located side by side. In the winter of 1836-7 they built on the captain's farm a 
log house, about 20 s 50 feet and one and one-half stories in height. For many 
years it was the largest house in the vicinity and became a favorite "stopping- 
place," or inn, for the iiioneer farmers living further west, who hauled wheat to 
market at Eacine. "Some conception of the conditions under which the pioneers 
of that region did business may be gained when it is understood that there were 
men who started from Eock river, sixty miles from the lake shore, with a load of 
wheat to market, and, if they chanced to be detained on the road a day or two, 
it sometimes was the case that the proceeds of the load did not pay the expenses 
of the trip. I have known men in my time in Minnesota who hauled wheat 150 
miles to market."* 

Captain Trowbridge served as a member of the Wisconsin territorial legislative 
body, and helped to prepare the way for statehood. He kept post office in the 
comer of his log house for several years. He resided in Eacine county the 
remainder of his life, surrounded by his family and many friends, enjoying the 
veneration and respect of all. It is doubtful if a more eventful history could be 
written of any person than of Captain Trowbridge. He was a brave, generous 
and honest man, in faith and practice a Christian. During all the trials and 
vicissitudes of life, he maintained a good profession. On his removal to the 
West, ahnost a wilderness, and the country, where he was, being destitute of the 
means of worship in the sanctuary, it was his practice to hold religious services 
at his own house, to which the people for miles distant resorted for worship, until 
the counti-y became settled. He was a man whose influence was felt and appre- 
ciated in the community. He died, peaceful and happy, in assurance of a blessed 
immortality.

Daniel Trowbridge settled in his native town, New Haven, Conn. His life 
was mainly a business one. He never entered society or jiolitical life to any 
extent and was of a very plain and unpretentious character. He began life with 
only the good name of his ancestors and the careful training imparted by them. 
He was barely of age when he opened a grocery business on Custom House square. 
Two or three years afterwards he removed it further up State street. He was 
successful from the start and continued this store until the time of the Civil 
War. He built a number of vessels at New Haven and Madison, Conn., and in 
Maine. In 1888, his fleet having been reduced b.y sales of five or six vessels and 
the West India business having drifted away from this port, he disposed of the 
remainder of his marine interests. From that time he devoted his attention to 
the various coi-porations with which he was identified. 

Mr. Trowbridge was one of the incori^orators of the Connecticut Savings Bank 
in 1857, and became its vice-president. He was one of the five organizers and

Thomas E. Trowbridge completed his education at Partridge's celebrated mili- 
tary academy at Middletown, Conn., in 1826. After leaving school he entered 
tlie ofiice of his fatlier, who was the senior member of the well-known firm of 
Trowbridge & Dwight, a house carrying on an extensive and prosperous trade with 
the West Indies. At the age of twenty-one he was admitted a partner in the 
business, and the name of the firm became Trowbridge, Son & Dwight, becoming 
Trowbridge, Sons & Dwight after the admission of his brother Henry. Busi- 
ness was conducted under that style until the retirement of Mr. Dwight in 1847, 
the firm then becoming H. Trowbridge & Sons. After the death of his father, 
in 1849, Thomas and his three brothers estaldished the fii-m of H. Trowbridge's 
Sons, which succeeded to the business of the older firm, and of whicli he became 
the senior partner. 

•• No children by first marriage. 

t Failed to complete his family record. 



8g TUOWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

His brothers in their partnership were in the hiibit of phieing great dependence 
upon the business judgment of their elder brother, and they would often say, 
when questions were asked either of them, "Ask Thomas." On May 1, 1S85, by 
the retirement of his only surviving brother, Ezekiel, he and his four sons became 
sole successors to the firai's business. On Janiiary 11, 1887, the firm removed 
their New Haven office from Long wharf, a location identified with the family's 
Ijusiness for over two hundred years, to the building then recently vacated by the 
Mechanics Bank. Business was conducted in that office until the dissolution of 
the firm in 1891, a few years after Mr. Trowbridge's death. 

From the time of his first entrance into his father's firm until his death, a 
period of over sixty years, Mr. Trowbridge was actively interested in the business, 
and, with the exception of occasional absences in the West Indies and elsewhere, 
was always at his office. He was a man of sound judgment, founded on solid 
information and a wide experience of men; cautious in engaging in new enter- 
prises, but resolute in carrying them out with activity and spirit when under- 
taken. He was emphatically a merchant of wide views, and the business which 
he left to his sons at his death testified to his business sagacity. 

Mr. Trowbridge was often obliged to decline positions of high trust in his 
state and city, contenting himself with the management of his own affairs and 
the numerous family interests which he guarded for many years. Some of these 
trusts were of a wearisome sort, but they were executed with no charge to those 
who had placed them in his hands, and he always rendered a faithful account of 
his stewardship. As an evidence of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow- 
citizens throughout the state, at the Republican convention held at Hartford in 
1861 he received the unanimous nomination as candidate for lieutenant-governor 
of Connecticut, with Hon. William A. Buckingham for governor, an honor which 
he positively and persistently declined, much to the chagrin of the party. Had 
he accepted the nomination, he would have been elected triumphantly, as the 
ticket on which he was offered the nomination su(.-ceeded by an overwhelming 
majority and held the ground for nine successive years. 

His record during the Civil War is an enviable one. He was a friend of the 
soldiers and of the soldiers' families, always ready to respond to the constant calls 
upon his ]3urse and sympathies. He tlu-ew- his whole soul into the cause of 
liberty, and although too far advanced in life to actively enter the field he aided 
in sustaining the government in everj' possible way by his influence and wealth. 
Before a company was yet formed, he offered five hundred dollars for the 
support of the families of volunteers; thus beginning a course of unstinted 
liberality, which he continued throughout the struggle, and initiating that great 
patriotic charity, which, eontiniied by private individuals and finall.y adoi)ted by 
towns and the state, extended a hand to all the families of absent soldiers. It 
was at his suggestion that the Mechanics Bank (of which he had been a valued 
director for many years) tendered the use of fifty thousand dollars to Governor 
Buckingham when the days were dark and the Union in danger. When the 10th 
Connecticut Regiment broke camp, with orders to proceed to the rendezvous, 
a beautiful state flag was presented to them by Mr. Trowbridge, made expressly 
for the regiment by his wife and daughter. He afterwards presentefl flags to 
several Connecticut regiments and swords to numerous officers, and was the first 
to provide a flag which was raised and kept flying on the steeple of Center 
Church on the Green. 

Mr. Trowbridge was one of the most active citizens in New Haven in forming 
the Sanitary Commission, and contributed greatly to its success by ]iecnniary 
assistance as well as personal service. When the time arrived in that great 
struggle to maintain the life of the nation that rendered a draft necessary to 



TUOWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 89 

furnish soldiers for the army, on the very day of the draft, when a crowd number- 
ing from three to five thousand assembled at the north portico of the State House 
in New Haven, a citizens' meeting was organized with Mr. Trowbridge for chair- 
man. Prominent citizens immediatel.v aune forward with oifers of money for 
the encouragement of volunteers. Different individuals offered fifteen dollars 
each for a volunteer, some pledging that amount apiece for several men. Mr. 
Trowbridge stood at the head of that noble list, which contributed sutKcient to 
raise the requisite number of men without a draft, he offering fifteen dollars 
apiece for thirty' men, and at half -past 4 p. m. it was annoiuiced that the quota 
for New Haven was filled, when nine tremendous cheers from the assembly burst 
forth and the crowd separated for their homes. Directly and indirectly, he spent 
about seventy thousand dollars in the cause of freedom. Mr. Trowbridge mani- 
fested the same unfaltering zeal in tlie cause of liberty until victory crowned 
the Union arms. 

As head of his family and l)usiness finu, it was natural that Mr. Trowbridge 
should be selected to serve as a member of the boards of direction in many cor- 
porations, but, with a few exceptions, he declined to accept, in order that such 
honors might be offered to his brothers. He was elected a director of the Mechan- 
ics Banli Jidy 5, 1847, and at the time of his death was its oldest director, having 
served on its board for forty years, and as an able and prudent officer he contrib- 
uted greatly to the prosperity of that institution. He was chosen a directin- of 
the New Haven Bank July 7, 1859, but resigned this office a few months later. 
He was a director of the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company uj) to the 
time of its consolidation with the New York and New Haven Railroad Company 
August 6, 1872. He was also for twelve years, and at his death, a director in the 
Security Insurance Company of New Haven. For many years, and until his 
death, he was treasurer and secretary of the Company to Build and Maintain 
Long Wharf, and was also secretary and a director of the Tomliuson Bridge 
Company. He had also been for many years a member of the New Haven 
Proprietors Committee. He became a member of the New Haven Chamber of 
Commerce in 1835, and from 1872 to 1883 was successively elected its president. 

Mr. Trowbridge alV'ays manifested a taste for historical researches. He took 
an honest and wliolesome pride in the history of his commonwealth and especially 
in that of liis beloved city. His name headed the list of signers iipon the original 
memorial presented to the New Haven Court of Common Council in 1862, which 
resulted in the organization of the New Haven Colony Historical Society, and he 
was from that date one of its directors and for many years its vice-president, 
taking an active and influential part in its proceedings; He contributed an 
importajit paper. "The History of Long Wharf in New Haven," to the first 
volume of the society's "Papers." He was also the projector of "The History of 
the Trowbridge Family." published in 1872, and defrayed the expenses of com- 
piling and printing that volume; and this Genealogy of his family has been 
dedicated to his memory in recognition of his services to Trowbridge history. 

Mr. Trowbridge through his life was one of the most efficient supporters of the 
First Ecclesiastical Society of New Haven and a valued member of the First 
Church, with which he and his wife united on May 31, 1840. He was a member 
of the standing committee of the church from 184f) until his death. He was also 
an active member of the society's committee for many years, and a free contribu- 
tor to the charities conducted under its supervision. He was chairman of the 
building committee having in charge the erection of the Dixwell Avenue Congre- 
gational Church, and contributed generously to its building fund and support. 
Anything that touched the honor or interest of his state or city warmed his heart 
and brought a quick response, but h(> never gave with publicity.

"In the offices of religion and benevolence, in the sweet and sunny relations of 
domestic life, and in that crystalline integrity which crowns the character of the 
honorable man of business he was one of our foremost exemplars. There seems 
something peculiarly fitting that such a life shoidd have spanned its long arc of 
years without a touch of disease or sickness until the last shadows came and the 
full-ripened sheaf drooped to the ground. He was one, who in all departments 
of life exemislified the highest ideal of a successful merchant, an honest 
and upright Christian man, and an affectionate, syxupathetic friend, ever ready 
to extend a helping hand to those in need of aid or advice." 

In his memory his son Eutherford has placed in Center Church an historical 
window, illustrating the arrival of the first settlers at New Haven in 1638 and 
the successive houses of worship of the First Ecclesiastical Society, a picture of 
which has been inserted among the earlier pages of this volume. 

One of the many newspaper notices published at the time of Mr. Trowbridge's 
death was as follows: 

"In the death of Sir. Thomas R. Trowbridge, which occurred at his residence yesterday 
morning at 9 o'clock, the city loses one of its foremost and most esteemed citizens. He 
was one who will be greatly missed and whose death will be sincerely regretted in all 
ranks of life in the community. The news of his critical illness was spoken of with 
sorrow by rich and poor, in the business house, the shop, the store and the factory, and 
in the family circle, the deceased having so long been one of our leading citizens and 
one who, from his native worth, his unfailing urbanity, his sterling qualities of head and 
he-art, his prominent business and commercial position, had held a place of honor and 
influence in our community which few have the privilege to attain. His name was a_ 
synonym for honor, integrity, sound business judgment and acknowledged high social 
position. His New England ancestry dates back to the settlement of New Haven colony 
and our Historical Society interests have ever been near to his heart. He was, though 
so near seventy-seven years of age, of erect carriage and eyes undimmed, with a handsome 
face and figure which well bespoke the surroundings of wealth and opulence and a station 
of influence, while his face bespoke also an honorable career and a life well spent. Digni- 
fied in appearance, affable with all men, considerate of others, he was liked by all with 
whom he came in contact. He was a merchant of a type which honors the community, 
the city and the state, and his record adds another link to the long line of Connecticut 
commercial leaders whose names have reflected lustre on our little commonwealth. The 
Center Church will miss him. In the sanctuary worship he deligljted, and his time and 
services, especially in his younger days, were freely at the disposal of the church and its 
interests. His name will long be cherished in our midst." 

An account of the funeral services over Mr. Trowbridge was printed in a news- 
I'aper of that day as follows : 

"As the hour approached for the funeral service to begin, hundreds of people assembled 
in the vicinity of the late residence of Mr. Trowbridge, on Elm street, facing the Green, 
noticeable among whom were working people to whom the deceased had been a benefactor. 
Their expressions of regret and sorrow at the loss of the man they honored could be 
heard in the conversations carried on in the little groups. At 3 o'clock the spacious 
parlors reserved for friends were densely packed. Fully three hundred people were in 
the different rooms at the commencement of the services. There were many prominent 
citizens and officials present, men whom the deceased has associated with and taken by the 
hand during life. At the hour set for the service to begin the Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, 
of the First Congregational Church, where Mr. Trowbridge had worshipped for years, 
stepped from an adjoining room, and standing in the hall facing the mourning friends of 
the decea-sed, began the services. The funeral eulogy was beautiful in its touching pathos. 

" 'I cannot in this house.' said he. 'speak of the life and character of him who lies 
yonder and whom we have loved so much. The life of a good man teaches human life. 
In an atmosphere of home-felt pleasures and gentle scenes rather than in one heavy with 
the shock of war and politics have we contemplated him. The closing years of a well 
spent life were in the bosom of his family, where he loved to bind himself in the exercise 
of congenial tastes, never obtruding himself by aught that could suggest arrogance or the 
pride of birth or high achievements ; reserved, rather, in general conversation until some 
word kindled his imagination or stirred his recollection. He was the representative of 
a generation faithful to duty and to friendships in all associations of human interests and 
activity. No more high-minded and honorable man ever lived : no man was more 
actuated always by the great idea of duty. He was equally delightful and attractive as 
a companion and friend, faithful in small things as well as great, when they came within 
the sphere of what he had undertaken to do. It is with infinite pain that I have seen

this uoble life passing away. I have missed tlie Idndly IodIj of his eye from the accus- 
tomed pew at church. A regular and devout attendant, a follower "of Christ was he. 
One who knew him well in life, the Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacou, often spoke in touching 
words of the character of our frieud and his determination to figiit the battle of truth 
and honor to the end. 

" 'A detailed historical narrative will not answer the purpose of these solemnities. I 
wish to bring together in one view his high iiualities, his magnanimity, his gentleness, 
and all of the other traits of his noble nature which have commanded our love and honor. 
Our existence, like a stream, flows smoothly on, and then suddenly dashes itself in a dark 
abyss where all worldly honor and power are gone forever, swallowed up as rivers are by 
oceans. The angel of death draws our thoughts away from the mortal to the immortal. 
Whether awake or asleep we live together in Christ. In this faith we shall greet him in 
a happier clime. His life had its full quota of usefulness in this world. He had the 
good old puritanical character from his ancestors, which in him and the remainder of his 
generation has lost its harshness, mellowed and ripened in the character of later ages. 
He came of a lineage of simple, honest men who loved God ; who loved God as he is, the 
Father of national and rational liberty, the liberty of obedience to law and subordination 
to natural and social dut.v. But he has gone from our midst, and the mystery of life is 
such that we ask where he has gone. His faith failed him not ; it rested on one mighty 
truth — that God is love. He was not tainted with any philosophical pretensions. He 
had no affinity with the hostile opinions of unl)elievers. He was visited with no such 
intellectual conceit. He was trained in a home of religious teaching. Office had no 
charm for him except it were connected with duty, and to shirk duty was as foreign to 
his nature as flattery and as odious as hypocrisy. Overcome as I am, standing in the 
presence of these memories, which endeared him to us all, I feel I can say no more.' "

Heni-y Trowbridge was educated at Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, 
being graduated in 1828. During his minority he entered his fathers counting- 
house, and on becoming of age was admitted as a partner in the house of H. 
Trowbridge, Son & Dwight, a house largely and prosperously engaged in the 
West India trade. On the dissolution of that firm, by tlie withdrawal of Mr. 
Dwight in 1847, he became a member of the house of H. Trowbridge & Sons, 
who succeeded to the business of the older firm, and in 1849, on the death of his 
father, he and his three brothers established the firm of PI. Trowbridge's Sons. 
He continued an active partner in this firm until his death. 

His well-earned reputation for sagacity, integrity and practical efficiency led 
him to various positions of trust and distinction in social life. For forty-five 
years he was a director (fifteen of which he was vice-president) of the New Haven 
Bank, and both in the town and city of New Haven he was called, from time to 
time, to places of active and more or less responsible service. 

Mr. Trowbridge united liimself with the First Church in New Haven in 
1840, by a public profession of his religious faith. He continued a loyal and 
active member of this cliurch until his death. In more private life he was 
gentle and quiet in manners, sympathetic and genial in his companionship, and 
eminently domestic in his preferences and liabits.

daughter of Zelotes and Eliza (Atwater) Day, born June 12, 1818, in New Haven; 
died January 28, 1907, in New Haven. 

Ezekiel II. Trowbridge at an early age entered the counting-house of his father, 
who was engaged in the West India trade, and there received his first ideas of 
business, and was by him instructed in those high principles of integrity, honor, 
and thoroughness of execution, which ever characterized him. He learned that to 
be successful as a merchant, it was necessary to master thoroughly the details, as 
well as the general principles of business, and always had before him the motto 
that, "Wliatever is worth doing is worth doing well," and acted up to this prin- 
ciple. At the age of nineteen he was sent to the West Indies to familiarize him- 
self with that part of the business, taking with him a full power-of-attorney from 
the house to transact important matters intrusted to liim. On arriving at his 
majority he was admitted as a partner into the firm of H. Trowbridge, Sons & 
Dwight, afterwards H. Trowbridge i' Sons, and, on the death of his father in 
1S49, the firm of H. Trowbridge's Sons was formed b.y his three brothers and him- 
self. He was an active member of the firm, and pursued the business, an emi- 
nently successful one, with all the ardor and energy which a man of strong 
constitution, great determination, hopeful temperament, and a mature judgment

could do. He remained an active partner until May 1, 18S5, wlien, owing to the 
multiplicity of his private allairs requiring his personal attention, he with his 
eldest and only surviving son retired from the business. 

Mr. Trowbridge, although devoting himself with untiring energy and ability to 
the best interests of his firm, was called into many positions of trust, being largely 
interested in railroads, banks and corporations. In 1S5.5 he with others organized 
the Elm City Banlc of New Haven, now the Second National, and was until his 
death an active and influential director of that successful institution. He was 
for over twenty-five years a director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford 
Railroad Company, and by his far-sighted .judgment was of great service to that 
large corporation, as well as to the other organizations comprising its system, in 
each of which he was also a director, and was vice-president of the Shore Line 
Railroad Company until its merger in the former company. His business saga- 
city and wise counsel were beneficial to the sticcessful advancement of other 
corporations in which he was largely financially interested. He was also for 
many years, and up to his death, a director of the Fair Haven and Westville 
Railroad Company (a corporation owning 'the street railroad system of New 
Haven) and the National New Haven Bank. In the execution of all these 
important and private trusts, his ardent zeal for success was always regulated and 
controlled by his most scrupulous regard for honest and honorable management. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a loyal member of the First Church, with which he united 
in 1842, and was a liberal contributor to charitable objects. In politics he was 
a Wliig and Republican, never seeking or holding political office, and was a 
.'itanch supporter of the government by act and pecuniary aid during the Civil 
War. He was a man of domestic tastes, social in his disposition, positive in his 
character, warm in his friendships, careful and considerate in his dealings, and 
highly successful financially.* 

In the memorial sermon preached in Center Church on November 11, 1S94, at 
the presentation of the historical window given by Mr. E. Hayes Trowbridge in 
memory of his father, Ezekiel H. Trowbridge, Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth said in 
part : 

"The memorial winJow. whicli lias been pre.sented to this church as an act of filial 
liiety iu memory of a father who i.s numbered among our dead, and which is gratefully 
accepted by us, the living, on this Sabbath day, for generations to come shall prove richly 
suggestive of the best elements of the historic life of this church and this community. 
To us. and to our children and children's children, it will offer visible sign and repre- 
sentation of those higher powers of faith and character, which in past times have lifted 
up into nobleness, and rendered prosperous in righteousness, the simple and sincere life 
of a New England town. This .'Sabbath day, therefore, as we look tor the first time at 
this historical window, this pulpit can have but one task to fulfil ; — its word must be as 
the living voice of those who being dead, yet speak ; and the message to which you listen, 
should catch the spirit of the whole history, upon the first memorable scene of which 
your eyes now rest. 

"Happily this historic task is rendered less difficult because the window itself, in its 
general design, and in the grouping of its characters, ju'esents at once to our thoughts the 
grand elements of our highest and best life as a church and a community, 

'"In its general conception the window represents the founding alike of church and state 
in a high comradeship of men, and iu the fear of God, . . . The memorial base of 
this historical window, with its seven firm pillars of the state, and the seven-fold candle- 
stick of truth in the luminous centre of them all, shall serve perpetually to remind us 
not to forsake the example of the founders by suffering corruption to be elected to rule 
over us, and ignorance to enlighten us, 

"Let us listen next to the voices of the several representatii'C characters which are por- 
trayed in this rich memorial gla.ss. Central in the group is the puritan preacher of 
righteousness. Prom the day when the Scripture concerning the temptation in the wil- 
derness was taken for the first sermon on this shore, the preacher of the eternal right ha.s 
never failed in the pulpit of this church. . . . Just behind the preacher who had come

Haven." published in 1S85.

to the new world with the learning of the old, the face may bo seen of the student intent 
upon his words. . . . We plaoe the quiet scholar by the famous teacher in our 
memorial window, because we would commemorate the alliance between religion and all 
reverent science, and remember that the college and sound learning have found just recog- 
nition and aid throughout the whole history of this church. 

"Other figures grouped around the preacher with the uplifted hand, shall keep in per- 
petual memorial the strong layman, with his armor on, ready for the next hour's duty, 
and the honest yeoman, and the godly and vigilant citizen. . . . Fitting it is that 
among the memorial figures above this jiulpit. should stand the soldier ready for action, 
and one, the most venerable of them all. devout in aspect, who gra.sps his musket in his 
still firm hand, while he listens to the word of the Eternal. 

"Still another grouping of figures in our window will set before us a different, yet no 
less important and most grateful lesson of our histor.v ; — we behold also here the puritan 
mother with her child. No historian has adequatel.v portrayed, no poet has fully sung 
the epic of the life of the puritan mother in the making of our New England. We greet 
and honor her, as our eyes now behold her, content to take a lowly station, listening in 
devout devotion, having forsaken the comfortable and happy promise of her girlhood's 
home for her dear Lord and Master's sake, — no longer richly clad, yet having a grace and 
spiritual beauty all her own, — the earnest, brave, true-hearted puritan woman, consecra- 
ting her child to God, that he might not return to the country whence she had come 
forth, — worthy erelong herself to take high place serene among God's martyrs and 
saints, — woman to whom many of us this day might give dear and personal name, for she 
is the mother of us all. 

"Often I have heard the late Mr. Ezekiel H. Trowbridge speak with reverent recollec- 
tion of the principles and instructions of his father : and to the sober and godly counsels 
of his childhood's home he owed the firm-grained integrity and the industrious vigor of his 
own successful life. Letters have been treasured up, written by that father to his son 
during his earlier years, which are marked by that high tone of religious responsibility 
and fidelity which has been the distinctive note of the best New England character. . . 
We can understand how he would rejoice with us at this hour, could he be with us to 
behold this finished work of beauty, which his son has wrought for the church in the 
father's name. Perhaps he, and many others whom we see no more, may be with us, 
watching over us more than we know, — God permits for both them and us whatever may 
be best. 

"I knew Mr. Trowbridge as his pastor, better perhaps than many others may have had 
opportunity to know him, in those deeper and richer elements of character which men in 
business are not wont to display except in the unguarded intimacies of private life,- — 
those kindlier and nobler qualities which shall be. we trust, elsewhere the daily felicities 
of those friendships in which the spirits of the just shall be made perfect. I miss his 
vigorous presence in his accustomed pew : and you know that a firm and loyal friend of 
this church was lost when he was gathered to his fathers. Yet grateful as might be to 
me the task of speaking further of the more personal and private characteristics of the 
man, I am reminded by the presence of many in the employ of that great industry to 
whose upbuilding Mr. Trowbridge gave the full measure of his business life, that some 
fitting words rather should be spoken of the service which a man may render to a com- 
munity who puts his business ability and his capital to productive use in building up any 
honorable enterprise, by means of which, employment and means of livelihood shall be 
furnished to large numbers of his fellowmen. One of the business principles which Mr. 
Trowbridge inherited, and which I have often heard him uphold with great emphasis, 
was that in some ways profitable to the community, as well as to himself, every man 
should seek to be a producer and that the true worth and moral justification of capital 
consist in its productive use. To the upbuilding of a vast railway system, and to the 
interests of all concerned in its prosperity, Mr. Trowbridge gave without stint or meiusure, 
up to the very last, his time and st7-ength. Besides the use of riches in works of benevo- 
lence there is a lesson from such a life, which both labor and capital may need repeatedly 
to learn, concerning the honorable service which may be rendered by any man whose 
strength and sagacity furnish the employment from which others may build their homes, 
and whose personal success advances the prosperity of his fellowmen."

Thomas-, Thomas'^), bom May 10, 1820, in New Haven, Conn.; died November 
6, 1864, in New Haven ; married, first, June 12, 1850, in New Haven, Mary 
Dwight Newton Leavenworth, adopted daughter of Isaac Leavenworth of New 
Haven and daughter of Eev. Samuel and Mary Hunt (Seeley nee McCarthy)

January 2, 1903, in New Haven. 

Winston J. Trowbridge was engaged in the West India business with his 
father. At nineteen he was sent to Barbados to take charge of the increasing 
sugar interests of the firm in the West Indies. On coming of age he was 
admitted a partner of the home firm and of Trowbridge & Co., the West India 
firm. After his father's death he and his three brothers established the firm of H. 
Trowbridge's Sons. He was the first of the name to reside in the West Indies, 
and the great prosperity of the firm dated from his residence there, and was in a 
large measure due to his management. In the conduct of an ever increasing 
business he traveled freqviently among the islands, visiting the various ports 
where business warranted. He was appointed August 31, 1852, United States 
consul for Barbados and adjacent English islands by President Eillmore with 
credentials from Queen Victoria. He continued to serve as such, and throughout 
the period of the Civil War was able to render important service to his country 
and fellow citizens. At Barbados he entertained extensively, and many notable 
American and English travelers have pleasant recollections of the hospitable 
and courteous treatment received from him at his residence, Erin Hall. In the 
faU of 1864, his health failing, he returned to New Haven for medical treatment, 
leaving his family at Barbados. He died shortly after his arrival, at the resi- 
dence of his brother Ezekiel. After his death his family removed to New Haven. 

Mr. Trowbridge was admitted a member of the First Church of New Haven in 
1853, and his second wife, Mrs. Margarette E. Trowbridge, was received into that

66. John William Trowbridge (John T."^, John'>-^, DanieP, Thomas*, Thomas^, 
Thomas'^), bom April 12, 1S07, in New Haven, Conn.; died June 21, 1878, in 

Chicago, 111.; married , 1838, in Oswego, N. Y., Jane Maria Godard. 

daughter of Moses and Rhoda (Wheaton) Godard, bom January 22, 1819, in 
Canada ; died September 10, 1853, in Burlington, Wis. 

John W. Trowbridge went in childhood with his parents to Rochester, N. Y. 
He commenced his business career as a young man in Oswego and was interested 
in several business enterprises in Western New York. In 1828 he started west- 
ward, locating in Cleveland, Ohio, and being identified with the early history of 
that city. In May, 1840, he followed his father to Racine county, Wis., and 
located a homestead of 160 acres about six miles from his father, in the town of 
Burlington, where he engaged in farming. 

Probably Ho other man was more generally known or more closely connected 
with the local affairs of the county at that early date. He held the office of 
register of deeds from 1849 to 1853, and also opened the first abstract office. He 
was noted for the accuracy, system and conciseness which characterized all his 
labor. He was also sergeant-at-arms of the territorial legislature. His public 
duties caused him to move to Racine, and he lived there several years. He there 
owned a half interest in the Racine Advocate and considerable real estate. In 
the panic of 1857 he, like many others, met with serious financial losses, and in 
the spring of 1858 he rented out his farm in Burlington and moved to Chicago, 
lU. He had been an expert bookkeeper in his younger days and he was engaged 
in the office of Buckingham & Sturgis, a grain and elevator firm in that city, for 
about a year, then returning to Racine. During the Civil War he represented a 
large wholesale and retail Chicago drj' goods firm as traveling salesman. In 1868 
he returned again to Racine and became an employee in the abstract office which 
he had founded in the early days of his residence there. He lived in Racine until 
Noveml>er, 1877, when he went to reside with a daughter, Mrs. Haines, in 
Chicago, where he died the following June. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a man of strong individuality, and tenacious of his views 
and opinions, which were always forcibly and fearlessly expressed. He was open 
and frank in his demeanor, always ready to expose and denounce trickery and 
fraud in public or private life. He was frequently drawn into the turmoil and 
strife of the county political affairs, but even when party feeling ran high and 
political excitement was such as to create prejudice and ill feeling, no person ever 
cast one shadow of doubt on liis honesty or integrity. He was a man in his 
political, religious and local views fifty years in advance of his time, but he 
lived to see slavery abolished and the Free Homestead Act passed, two measures 
that he had advocated and worked for for years. He had strong literary tastes 
and could recite long selections from his favorite authors. His last words were : 
"Tell my friends, I die in the faith."

Lockwood, daughter of John and Esther (Field) Lockwood, born June 9, 1817, in 
Springfield, Vt. ; died January 24, 1891, in Superior, "VJ^is. 

Stewart H. Trowbridge at the age of nineteen, in 1836, emigrated with his 
father from Rochester, N. Y., to Dover, six miles from Burlington, Racine 
county. Wis., and began life as a farmer, an occupation which he ever since fol- 
lowed. When he settled in Wisconsin, liis nearest neighbor was six miles distant, 
but, in the course of time, his homestead became surrounded with those of otlier 
settlers, and he, by reason of an even tamper, genial disposition, and a rigidly 
upright character, joined to good judgment, came to be highly esteemed. He 
always took an active and intelligent interest in politics and affairs of govern- 
ment, but never accepted office, although often urged to do so. He made an 
exception to this rule by accepting the office of school district officer, serving 
many times in that capacity. On his farm in Wisconsin was located a school- 
house and a church, ground for both of which he gave. 

During the Civil War, when it was reported that his eldest son was mortally 
wounded at Perryville, Mr. Trowbridge left home to seek him. He reached Louis- 
ville, to find comnnfnication with Perryville vei-y uncertain on account of the 
operations of the noted guerrilla Morgan, but nothing daunted he pushed on, 
reached his son, and brought him back to Louisville, where he nursed him until 
he was out of danger, procured his discharge, and took him home, where in due 
time he recovered. 

In October, 1863, Mr. Trowbridge removed to Minnesota and purchased a farm 
in Lyle township. Mower county, near the county seat. Austin. He resided there 
until his death, except for a period of two years which he passed with his eldest 
son in Portland, Ore. He died at the home of his son Henry in Lyle. By his 
life work he emphasized his motto of "be good and do good." 

• He failed to answer the compiler's letters. He is said to have served in Missouri and 
Colorado regiments in the Civil War.

Henry Trowbridge was educatt'd at Hopkins Granunar School, which he 
attended during the years 1850 and 1851, and the school of Amos Smitli in New 
Haven. At the age of eighteen he entered the long-established house of H. Trow- 
bridge's Sons, a firm widely known in the West India trade and of which his 
father was senior partner. Like other members of his family, after several years 
of service in the branch of the business located in the West Indies, he returned to 
New Haven, and on reaching his majority was admitted a partner in the firm. 
His duties in the business necessitated his spending most of his time in the New 
Y(>rk City oiSce, and he was a well-known figure in business circles in that city. 
He was an energetic business man, and his untiring attention to the affairs of his 
firm were of the greatest benefit to it. He retired from active business when the 
partnership was dissolved in 1891. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a well-read man and had the happy faculty of remember- 
ing what he read, and his fund of information and anecdote made him a most 
interesting companion. He was a man firm in his convictions and loyal in his 
friendships. He was admitted in 1860 a member of the First Church of 
New Haven, to which his first wife had been admitted in 1858. His second 
wife is a member of Calvary Baptist Church, New Haven.

Thomas R. Trowbridge received his early education in his native city at the 
well known schools of Amos Smith, Lewis M. Mills and Stiles French. After 
leaving school he became identified with the firm of H. Trowbridge's Sons, West 
India merchants, of New Haven, which had been founded by his grandfather. 
The ofiices were on Long wharf, and it was in them, with liis father and uncles, 
that he began his business career. At the age of nineteen he was sent to the 
West India branch of the firm, and lived in the islands of Barbados and Trinidad 
five years. On March 10, 1863, while living in Trinidad, he was appointed to 
act as United States consul there, and performed the duties of that ofiice for 
several months. In the summer of 1863 he returned to New Haven, and was 
admitted a partner in his firm. A few years later the business was transferred to

continued to be in New Ilnven. I'lianfiing methods of trade and of transporta- 
tion, leading ultimately t<i a modification of the West India business, induced 
Mr. Trowbridge and his brothers to witlidravv from business, and the firm was 
finally dissolved by mutual consent in 1801. During all that time, thirty-six 
years, Mr. Trowbridge had been one of its most active members and in later 
years a partner. Since his retirement from business he had been occupied with 
his jirivate interests and those of the institutions with which he was connected. 

Mr. Trowbridge was always interested actively in whatever concerned the wel- 
fare of New Haven, and, although never taking a very lu'ominent part in the 
politics of the city, held several jniblic oftices of trust. He served in both 
branches of the city comicil, and was president of the board of aldermen in 188G. 
In that year he was a candidate for mayor on the Republican ticket, but was 
defeated, although he reduced considerably the usual large Democratic majority. 
He was one of the organizers of and was the first president of the Republican 
League Club, in the interests of which he was active for many years. He was 
also for several years president of the New Haven Board of Harbor Commis- 
sioners. He \\'as a stanch supporter of the First (Center) Church of New 
Haven, with which he united in 1858, and as a member of its society's committee 
rendered efficient service. Mrs. Trowbridge united with the First Church in 
1878. 

In the field of historical research Mr. Trowbridge's contributions are well 
known and will always be valued. It was through his efforts that funds were 
raised for the memorial tablets set in the walls of Center Church and that the 
eryfjt below was restored. He was a leading spirit in planning and carrying 
tlirough the celebrations which during the twenty-five years that preceded his 
death had commemorated the city's growth and history ; and many of the tablets 
whicli uuirk historic spots were placed as a result of his researches and under his 
personal supervision. He was connected with the New Haven Colony Historical 
Society for thirty years as a director, secretary, and president, and rendered 
important service to the society in contributing and securing additions to its 
collections. He also compiled a number of papers which he read before the 
society. He was at great pains to investigate the facts connected with the sub- 
jects upon which he wrote, and his papers are regarded as trustworthy records of 
early New Haven liistory. These pajjers contain many valuable references to the 
business, commercial and social life of the colony and city. He was an authority 
on Connecticut shipping interests and was familiar with their history from the 
earliest records. His writings are preserved in the published "Collections" of 
the historical society, those on the "Ancient Houses of New Haven" and the 
"Ancient Maritime Interests of New Haven" being the most important. Among 
his other paj)crs were "A vSketeh of the Hist/n-y of the New Haven Colony 
Historical Society," written for the opening of the society's present building in 
1892, and "The Action between the Chesapeake and the Shannon." He also 
contributed articles for several histories and historical publications. 

Mr. Trowbridge died at his country place in Litchfield, where he had passed 
his summers for many years. At the time of his death he was president of the 
New Haven Colony Historical Society and the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company, 
a director of the Mechanics Bank, a trustee of the New Haven Savings Bank, 
the New Haven Orphan Asylum and the New Haven City Burial Ground, a 
member of the conunittee of the First Ecclesiastical Society, the New Haven 
Proprietors Committee, the American Historical Association, the Society of 
Colonial Wars, the Sons of the American Revolution, the New Haven Chamber 
of Commerce and the New York Produce Exchange, a vice-president of the 
Connecticut Humane Society, and an hoiujrary member of several historical 
soi-icties in diti'erent parts of the country. 



lOi; TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

The late Prof. James JI. Hoppiu of Yale University, who was a neighbor of 
Mr. Trowbridge both in New Haven and Litchfield, wrote in his memory this 
tribute of a friend: 

'"The business and public life of Mr. Trowbridge has been set forth by those 
better able to do it, and I would but add a brief word of his personal qualities as 
they appeared to a friend's eye. He had a noble personality. He was a whole- 
souled man. His heart and hand were open as the day. He was of generous, 
manly nature, but did good modestly and his good actions were not always 
recorded in subscription lists or newspapers. Many a young man was aided along 
in life by him. Many a poor widow's heart was made to sing with joy by his 
timely benefactions. He was quick in his sympathies with the joys and sorrows 
of others. He judged men albeit shrewdly, but kindly and genially. While 
ardently attached, traditionally so, to his own church, he was broad-minde<l 
towards other religious denominations and had friends in them all, whether 
Protestant or Catholic. A New Haven man to the core, he was also beloved in 
Litchfield, where he had his country home. None knew better than he the whole 
region of Litchfield county and its pleasant drives. He had an eye to nature and 
scenery. Among his dying requests was to be moved to the window where he 
might see tlie eastern hills on which lay the sunrise light — his last morning 
on eartli. 

"Mr. Trowbridge had a great love for historical researches, and much that is 
curious in the history of his native city and state, picked up by him in odd cor- 
ners and ways, will die with liim. His library, which was a fine one for a private 
collection, was composed largely of books relating to American and English his- 
toi-y, and, above all, the naval and maritime history of the country. The papers 
which he read before the New Haven Colony Historical Society on these and 
kindred topics, and published in the records of the society are, in their carefully 
collated facts, of real value. His personal observations also in regard to the West 
Indies were exceedingly interesting, mingling as he did in writing and conversa- 
tion the narrative and the general in his remarks. He was the tyjje of a good 
citizen, awake to every popular interest, not seeking his own advancement nor 
jealous of the advancement of others, but working on the lines of sound sense and 
honest politics, whether of a local or national character. He was a man who 
disliked controversy, and while ready to defend his own opinions with spirit, was 
willing to give others the same chance, and thus he avoided bitt<»r strife. There 
was something sweet-hearted about him which prevented him from having 
enmities, or arousing ill-will. He would rather be the anvil than the hammer, 
to take than to give ofFense. He was a loyal, unselfish friend, a man of absolute 
integrity and honor. And so anotlier pilgrim of us on life's dusty road has 
gone to his everlasting rest."*

William R. H. Trowbridge prepared for college at the school of Mr. Stiles 
French in New Haven and was graduated from Yale College in 1863. He spent 
the first year after graduation in traveling with a tutor in Egyist. Arabia, 
Palestine, Asia Minor, Turkey and Greece. Upon his return to the United 
States he was admitted a partner of Trowbridge & Co., the West India branch 
of his father's firm, H. Trowbridge's Sons of New Haven, and took up his resi- 
dence in Barbados, British West Indies, where he had charge of an important 
branch of the firm's business. He spent twenty years in that island, visiting his 
native place, however, every two or three years. In 1883 he was admitted a 
partner of H. Trowbridge's Sons, and in 1885 he returned to New Haven to live. 
In 1S91 the firm was dissolved by mutual consent and he retired from active busi- 
ness, and about two years later he and his family removed to Europe. He has 
resided there ever since, except for occasional visits to this country, and spends 
his time principally in Italy and England. He considers New Haven, however, 
as his residence. 

Mr. Trowbridge was admitted a member of the First Church in New Haven 
in 1858. He was chosen one of its deacons in 1887, and performed the 
duties of that office until his removal to Europe in 1893, when he resigned. 
Wide travel and extensive reading have made Mr. Trowbridge an agreeable and 
instructive companion. He has contributed stories and sketches to a number of 
.Vmeriean and English newspapers and periodicals. He received the degree of

quarter of the world, and was on his way from Charleston to New York to 
join a ship bound for China, when the schooner he was in was wrecked in a 
heavy gale and abandoned, the crew being picked up by the Clyde line steamer

W. R. H. Trowbridge, Jr., acquired his eaily education at Harrison College. Barbados, 
one of the best schools in the West Indies. Here he attracte<l the attention of Bishop 
Mitchinson, since master of Pembroke, Oxford, who wished that he should complete his 
education at Oxford I'niversity. and was preparing him with a view to this, when at 
fourteen he wa.s sent to the fnited States. Here he spent three years at Hopkins 
Grammar School in New Haven. Conn., and four at Yale University, from which he 
was graduated in 1SS7 with the degree of B..\. .\fter an extended tour of Europe he 
returned to Barbados and entered the firm of Trowbridge & Co.. the representatives of

for nearly a century in that island. On the closing of the firm's business four years 
later he entered the Colonial Bank of London and in the course of seven years was 
employed in various responsilile posts in nearly all the bank's branches In the West 
Indies.

A strong desire for a literary career, which had manifested itself by the publication of 
three books of Anglo- West Indian life ("Gossip of the Caribl)ees." "'For the Vagabond 
Hour" and "Children of Men" 1 , induced him to resign his post in the bank in January, 
lUOO, when he went to England to make literature his profession. Since that date he has 
made London his home and has written several books, of which the most popular have 
been the novels "The Letters of Her Mother to Elizabeth." "A Girl of the Multitude," 
"The Situations of Lad.v Patricia" and "A Dazzling Reprobate," and the historical works 
"Court Beauties of Old Whitehall" and "Mirabeau the Demigod." A thorough knowl- 
edge of French, acquired in his early youth in the West Indies, led him to write a play in 
P^rench belles Icttrex, ".Tezabcl," which he published in Paris in VMY.i in book form and 
dedicated, with her permission, to Madame Sarah Bernhardt. 

Besides his literary work he has found time for other things. In December. 1900, he 
received a commission as lieutenant in the 1st Cadet Battalion, The Queen's Royal West 
Surrey Regiment, from which he retired with the rank of captain in 1907. During this 
period he had the unique experience of taking part in the funeral procession of Queen 
Victoria. He has also obtained an intimate acquaintance with the conditions of the 
working classes in London, having lived for several years at the Passraore Edwards Settle- 
ment in that city, which owes its origin to Mrs. Humphrey Ward's novel "Robert Els- 
mere," and of which that lady is secretary. Association with the social work of the 
settlement has led to a keen interest in political questions. His principal recreations are 
fencing, motoring and rowing, and the holidays he has been able to get in the course of 
a very busy life are spent in traveling about England and the Continent. He is a member 
of the Royal Societies, the I'laygoers and the New Vagabonds clubs of London and the 
Bridgetown Club of Barbados, B. W. 1. His present address is 33 Buckingham Gate,

E. Hayes Trowbridge early entered the service of the old firm of H. Trow- 
bridge's Sous, of which his father was a member. Here he was trained to 
familiarity with the West India trade in which the firm was engaged; and into 
partnership relations with the firm he ultimately entered, a connection con- 
tinued until the exjairation of the partnership by limitation in 1885. So closely 
associated with his father as to be almost identified with him in business 
interests, Mr. Trowbridge shared with him in the gradual transfer of his business 
undertakings from the foreign shipping trade to railroad, baulving and commer- 
cial enterprises nearer home. This close association in business with his father 
continued until the death of the latter in 1893 ; and since then Mr. Trowbridge 
devoted himself to the management of the large property interests which he and 
his father had jointly built up, and of w-hich his father's demise had left him in 
sole charge. 

His business talents and his extensive sJiare in the conunercial life of the city 
where he lived brought him numy positions of trust, responsibility and honor. 
Thus, he served as a director of the old New Haven National Bank, and of its 
younger associate the Second National Bank. He was on the managing boards 
of the New Haven Gas Light Company, the New Haven Water Company, the 
Fair Haven and Westville Railroad Company, the Winchester Avenue Railroad 
Company and the New England Street Railway Company, and was vice-presi- 
dent of the Boston and New York Air Line Railroad Company. He was a mem- 
ber of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. In these various posts he showed 
himself the faithful and efficient man of business. 

Mr. Trowbridge had a hearty interest in the welfare of the city wliere he lived. 
He gave of his means to foster its charities and to increase its attractiveness. 
He contributed generously to the erection of the maternity ward of the New 
Haven Hospital, and he gave to Grace Hospital. He aided in the construction 
of the handsome building occupied by the Young Men's Christian Association. 
He was much interested in the Center Church, of which he had been a member 
since 1864, and he gave to it, in memory of his father, the fine window 
over the pulpit representing Rev. John Davenport preaching to the first settlers

ciation with others is attested by his membership in such organizations as the

Crawford, daughter of John and Charlotte (Sanders) Crawford, born February 
16, 1842, in Jersey City, N. J. ; died February 6, 1898, in Portland. 

Miles M. Trowbridge passed the first fourteen years of his life in the imme- 
diate neighborhood of his grandfather, and learned lessons of patriotism from his 
lips through stories of his adventurous life. He worked on his father's farm 
summers and attended the common school winters \mtil the breaking out of the 
Civil War in 1861. His father restrained liim from enlisting with the three 
month men, but when Fremont's proclamation in Missouri disclosed that it 
would be a fight to a finish, and remove the cause of the war, his consent was 
given and Miles enlisted September 10, 1861, in Company C, 1st Wisconsin 
Infantry, for three years and went as one of the color guards to that regiment. 
The regiment was employed in keeping open communications and similar duties 
in Kentucky, Tennessee and Northern Alabama until September, 1862.* 

The first serious battle in which tlie regiment engaged was at Perryville, Octo- 
ber 8, 1862. During the battle, the regiment in front lost every field ofiicer and 
was thrown into confusion and obliged to retire. The 1st Wisconsin was 
advanced to its place and with the assistance of artillery held the position until 
all the artillery horses were killed or unmanageable. The regiments of the 
brigade were ordered to hold the ground while the guns were withdrawn. About 
this time the 1st Wisconsin made a dash and captured the flag of the 1st Tennes- 
see. Protected by the fire of other regiments, the 1st Wisconsin took away from 
the field every gun and caisson by hand. Their flag was riddled by balls and 
flag staff severed in two places. All the color guard but three were killed or 
wounded. The regiment received the thanks of Indiana for rescuing the battery 
which belonged to that state, and a present of a full complement of colors in 
recognition of its bravery. 

Miles was reported mortally wounded. His father went down for his body, 
but saved his life hy careful nursing. He removed him to the Louisville hospital, 
and on November 15 he was discharged as pennanently disabled. Even then 
the chances of his reaching home alive seemed about even, but by easy stages, 
and laying over a day or two for rest in different places, his father brought him 
through. The ball entered his left shoulder, passed through the upper portion 
of his lung and came out close by the spine. He has never fully recovered from

the effects. He remained at home and in the fall of 1863 removed with his father 
to Lyle, Minn. 

A part of the succeeding- year, as his health became firmer, was spent in com- 
mencing a higher education, but he was chiefly indebted for his admirable fund 
of information and terse use of the English language to his persistent habit of 
reading, formed in his boyhood and kept up after the war. He was not satisfied 
to study wliile others were fighting, and on September 2, 1864, re-enlisted in Com- 
pany K, 4th Minnesota Infantry. He joined the regiment in season to take part 
in the terrific fight at Altoona, where Corse "held the fort" on Sherman's signals, 
notwithstanding his great loss of men and the individual loss of an ear and a 
cheek bone. 

He was am.ong the sixty thousand selected for the march to the sea. After 
resting at Savannah more than a month, the still longer march north commenced 
in February. This was a far niore arduous task. The spring rains rendered it 
necessary to corduroy all roads for the passage of baggage and artillery and fre- 
quently rendered the swollen rivers impassable, and Joe Johnston, at least second 
in ability of Confederate generals, commanded the enemy and delivered a blow 
at this wing or the other at evei-y opportunity. Then followed the surrender of 
the Confederate armies, the grand review at Washington, and the mustering out, 
which occun'ed July 19, 1865. 

Mr. Trowbridge held the oifices of town clerk, town treasurer and chairman of 
the board of supervisors in the town of Lyle, and in 1877 was elected county com- 
missioner from the southwest district. He held this oifice for three years, and 
was quite instrumental in the erection of the court house. The people voted not 
to issue bonds for that pui-pose, and as the records were unsafe under existing 
conditions he with others wisely disregarded present popularity, and the outcries 
of the penny wise and pound foolish, and voted to raise the necessary amount by 
taxation, distributed over three years time. In the fall of 1880 the court house 
was so far advanced as to show it was an excellent bargain for the money and he 
was promoted to the office of register of deeds of Mower coiuity, which he held 
by successive elections for six years. He proved an efficient and acceptable 
officer. During tliis period he became captain of Company G, 2d Regiment, 
Minnesota National Guard, and brought the company up in numbers and effi- 
ciency. He realized the importance of such organizations for the preservation 
of order and as a preparation for defense, and enjoyed the esteem and confidence 
of the company. 

In the spring of 1887 Captain Trowbridge was employed to get up a set of 
abstract books at Superior, Wis. His experience as register of deeds fitted him 
for this work and gave him the reputation that secured him the jjosition. A 
year and a half later he moved to Portland, Ore., where he accepted a position 
with the Pacific Title and Trust Company, with which he has since been identi- 
fied. Captain Trowbridge has a fine heme on Portland Heights, a tliousand feet 
above sea level, which commands a beautiful view of the city and harbor, with 
Mounts Hood and Adams in the distance.

WILLIAM TEOWI^RIDGE 

Of New Haven, Conn., 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS 



100. William TROWBRrooE (Thomas^),'^ baptized September 3, 1633, in Exeter, 
Devonshire, England ; died November — , 1688,* in West Haven,t Conn. ; 
married IMarch 9, 165G-T, in Milford, Conn., Elizabeth (Lamberton) Sellivant, 
widow of Daniel Sellivant, and daughter of Capt. George and Margaret 

( ) Lamberton. born , 163- in London?, England; died 

4 1716, in West Haven. 

William Trowbridge was brought in childhood by his parents from England, 
first to Dorchester in the Massachusetts Bay colony, and then to the iilantation 
of New Haven. Wlien his father was calletfback to England, he and his brothers 
were left in charge of his father's former servant, Henry Gibbons. The latter 
mismanaged the property left for the bo.ys' support, and after a time they were 
taken away from him by the town authorities and put under the care of Sergt. 
Tliomas Jeffrey and his wife, and in their home William and his brothers passed 
their boyhood. His schoolmaster was Mr. Ezekiel Cheever. 

Soon after reaching his majority William Trowbridge made an attempt to 
bring Gibbons to an account for his stewardship. His efforts were continued 
over a series of years, but gained little result during his father's lifetime. A 
few years after the latter's death Gibbons made some restitution, as has been 
printed on a previous page. 

"William Trowbridge propounded to ye Court if he might have an account of his 
father's estate that was left in New Haven, and for this end presented (wo letters from 
his father, one dated ilarch 6, 165.5. the other March 4, 16.58. wherein his father writes, 
that he marvells that there is not au account of it .given. It w.as told hira that some time 
has been sjient in searching ye records, but it could not be cleared, wherefore he paying 
the Secretary then y<? Secretar.v would afford him what help he eould therein to cleare it." 

"January .3, 1664. William Trowbridge having had a warrant for Henry Gibbons to 
answer him in an action of ye case, was now called to enter his action. He required of 
Henry Gibbons an account of his father's estate that was left with him when he went 
for England. Wm. Trowbridge was asked by what authority he made this demand? He 
showed a letter of attornie from his father, which being read was allowed and accepted. 
Henry Gibbons said that he had given him an accompt as well as he could, but the estate, 
he said, was taken out of his hands by order of the authorit.v here. & therefore it must 
be referred to ye records. But the records having been looked into formerly and matters 
not found so cleare as was desired & there being much business at this tyme, the case was 
referred to another time." 

"At a County Court held at New Haven June 10, 1674," before .James Bishop, assistant 
and moderator, the assistants, commissioners and a jury, in the case of Trowbridge vs. 



* "The Inventorie of the estate of Mr William Trowbridge late of Newhaven deceased intes- 
tate was exhibited in Court, proved by oath of Apprisers according to law and approved for 
record, and power of administration of said estate granted to Elisabeth ye widdow & relict 
of the said deceased & to Thomas Trowbridge the son of ye deceased & Samuel Smith. 
The Children are William Trowbridge, Thomas Trowbridge, of age; Elisabeth. Margaret & 
James of age ; Hannah 20 years old ; Samuel & Abigaile. twins, about 18 years old ; Mary 
16; Joseph about 12 vears old." [New Haven Probate Records, vol. 2, p. 109; vol. 4, pp. 
275, 279.]

"In the action wherein \Ym. Trowbridge is Plaintif & Heni-y Gibbons Contra Defend- 
ant : after the Records of the transaction about the estate were read, The Court saw not 
cause to admit the protest. In which the plaintif seemed to rest satisfied." 

William Trowbridge is usually described iit the public records of that time as 
a "planter," and later on as a "husbandman." In 1()64 he appears to have been 
master of the sloop Cocke, making voyages out of New Haven. In July, 1667, 
he sold his house and lot in the village of New Haven, and probably about that 
time became one of the first residents in tlie parish of West Haven, He probably 
built a house on that part of the "Lamberton Farm" that through his wife 
eventually came into his possession.* His share was one-sixth of the Lamberton 
fann, and it included all the land between the present Campbell and Washington 
aventtes from Brown street (the site of the piano factory) nearly to Long Island 
Sound. He also owned 144 acres on the Sound near Oyster river. 

William Trowbridge was nominated a freeman of the colony of Connecticut 
on May 13, 1669, He lived on his farm in West Haven the remainder of his life. 
He made gifts to his children during his lifetime of much of his real estate, so 
that the inventory of his estate mentions but 55 acres of "second division" land 
and a small amoimt of personal property. He made no will. He and his wife 
were admitted members of the First Church in New Haven on April 28, 1686.

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 125 

He married and made his home in his native town. He was a planter and 
shipmaster, sailing out of Xew Haven. In the New Haven town xecords, under 
the title, "A Record of Sea Aii'airs," and the date October 19, 1G97, i.s recorded 
the following: 

"William Trowbridge of New Haven mariner, master of the good sloope called the 
Advciittirc by his Protest sheweth that npon the 20"' of .July last past about eleven of 
the clock in the forenoon & in the Latitude of 30 and 49, he spied a ship at sea which 
bore up to him and about six of y>-' clock the same day in yf evening, she came up with 
him. And being a French ship of I'M tons or thereabouts, mounted with eight guns and 
four iiateraroes with 30 men well provided with small arms, commanded b.v Capt. Jan L 
who immediately commanded the .said William Trowbridge master of said sloope 
to put out her boats. And thereafter they came on board said sloope and so seized on 
said sloop and cargo as prize. And carryed said master and his mate vt mariners on 
board said French ship, and then went in plundering of said sloope and kept both the 
sloop and cargo in their possession, And the master, mate and other mariners and pas- 
sengers prisoners until the 22>"i of the said month of July last that they were dismissed 
by the French. And the sloop and remaining ])art oC cargo put in y hands of Joseph 
Hand mate of said sloop for payment to ye French of 1330 C'rown.s for security of which 
sum, the said mate is conveyed away as a hostege unto France. And further saith that 
the said sloop and cargoe was much damaged in the storms and winds at sea by reason 
of insufficiency of her sayles and rigging not fit for voyage. And other damage sustained 
by storms, and the Eneme's breaking bulk and taking away or drawing out a pipe of 
wine & tine quarterd cask besides other goods & pipes of wine broached and damnified by 
them. Therefore the said William Trowbridge for himself and company protested not 
only against the said Capt. .To° Lewerner commaniier of said Frencii ship and his ship and 
company but also against the hazard of the sea.s or storms and damage sustained thereby. 
And y' he & the other mariners should be altogether free of any loss or damage sustained 
in the said sloop or cargoes by the Enemy or otherwise, by hazard of stormes & other 
dangers at sea as aforesaid and insufficiency of said sloop, rigging & sailes. 

Wm Trowbridge 
Appeared on yc day & yeare above written this said W™ Trowbridge and made and 
acknowledged this his protest desiring the same to be recorded 

Wm Jones. Not. I'ublic." 

Cotton Mather, in his "Magnalia," records the following ''interposition of 
Divine Providence," which, he says, is "attested beyond all contradiction" : 

"On the 10th of October in this present year, 1007, there arrived at New Haven, a 
sloop of about .")0 tons, whereof Mr. William Trowbridge was m.aster ; the vessel belonged 
unto New'Haven, the persons on board were seven; and seventeen long weeks had they 
now spent since thy came from their port, which was Fayal. By so imusually tedious a 
passage a terrible famine unavoidably came upon them ; and, for the five last weeks of 
their voyage, they were so destitute of all food, that, through faintness. they would have 
chosen death rather than life. But they were a praying and a iiious company: and when 
these poor men cried unto the Lord, he heard and saved them. God sent his dolphins to 
attend them; of these they caught still one every day, which was enough to serve them: 
only, on Saturdays, they still catched a couple, and on the Lord's da.v they could catch 
none at all. With all possible skill and care they could not supply themselves with the 
fish in any other number or order : and, indeed, with a holy blush, tliey at last left off 
trying to do anything on the Lord's day, when they were so well supplied on the Satur- 
da.vs. Thus, the Lord kept feeding a company that put their trust in him, as he did his 
Israel with liis manna ; and this they continued until the dolphins came to that change 
of water where they useil to leave the vessel. Then they so strangely surrendered them- 
selves, that the company took twenty-seven of them, which not oul.v sufficed them until 
they came ashore, but, also, some of them were brouglit ashore dried, as a monument of 
the Divine benignity." 

Captain Trowbridge was accustomed to make voyages to the West Indies. 
Fayal and other foreign ports, and died on one of these voyages. He attended 
the First Church, of which his wife was admitted a member May 15, 1689.

War Kolls, 1758" in the Connecticut State Library,* and opposite his name is 
entered: "length of service, 24 weeks and 4 days; dead, September 22, 175S."t 

Samuel Trowbridge was a soldier in the Revolution. He enlisted November 
17, 1777, for the war, in Capt. Samuel Comstock's company,:]: 8th Regiment, 
Connecticut Line.§ He is entered as "deserted" on May 29, 1778, and as 
"rejoined" on September 15, 1778, and as "deserted" again on April 21, 1779.|| 
A letter from the late Mr. Theodore B. Galusha (a great-grandson of No. 123) 
states tliat Samuel went to Tully, N. Y.. where he was a well-known hunter and 
died about 1833 ; unmarried. 

The compiler has found no proof that either Stephen or Samuel married, or 
was the father of the four children recorded below. There seems to have been 
no otlier Trowbridge unmarried living at that time in Fairfield county who could 
have been their father, and that they were of this immediate family it seems 
reasonable to supiiose from the name of child No. iii below, evidently named for 
the father-in-law of their supposed grandfather, and child No. i may well have 
been named for the wife of No. 123, for this was not a Benedict name. There 
seems too great a disparity of years to make Thankful a possible second wife for 
No. 110. It is also possible that No. 110 had another son, whose name is not 
on record, who married Thankful Benedict. 

The records prove that and Thankful (Benedict) Trowbridge had the

kept by John Trowbridge. Owing to its sign it was saved from destruction, but its 
furniture was piled up and burned. He was a lieutenant in the army and was away with 
his regiment at that time. His people removed themselves and what furniture they could 
get together to Nathan Cornwall's tavern in the Beaver Brook district, east of Danbury 
and bordering on Derby. The Royal troops did not interfere with the property, but the 
destruction of the furniture was the work of Tory neighbors."t

t The family tradition among the descendants of their two older brothers is. "they went to 
Pennsylvania, or the West, changed their names to StrowhrUh^e, and one of them had a son 
who was a doctor." There seems little doiiht that Justus is the Justus Strawbridge (or 
Strowbridge) of Columbia county. Pa., whose family record and that of his descendants appear 
in Mrs. Mary S. Guild's "Strobridge-Strawbridge Genealogy." pages 251 to 260. By the 
record there printed, it appears that Justus Strowbridge (as he signed his name), or .Straw- 
bridge (as it is printed), (his descendants use both spellings) had. among others, a son 
Shohel and another son who was a doctor. To letters written by the compiler and mailed 
with his introductory circular to descendants of this Justus, the Strawbridges of Philadelphia, 
Pa., and the Strowbridges of Portland, Ore., families of prominence in those cities, no reply 
was received. 

t His granddaughter Mrs. Sarah T. Beatty (No. 201, xi) was the principal authority for 
this family register. No records of their births were found in New .Jersey. 

§ Is remembered to have said, "father had six brothers."

158 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

"for the war." His name appears on a pay abstract in Lieut.-col. Ebenezer 
Sprout's 12th Regiment, Massachusetts Line, for three months' service in 1780. 
His name appears as sergeant on a muster-roll of Capt. Luke Hitchcock's com- 
pany, 1st Massachusetts Regiment, Col. Joseph Vose, for June, 1780. He con- 
tinued to serve in that company the two following years. 

Sergeant Trowbridge describes his war service in his application for a pension 
(which was granted) as follows: "I served as a private soldier and sergeant 
employed in the war of the Revolution on the Continental establishment; and 
after serving under short enlistments most of the time from the year 1775 to the 
year 1778 or 1779, I then enlisted, during the war, into a company commanded 
by Capt. Luke Hitchcock in Colonel Sprout's regiment in the Massachusetts 
Line, and that said company was afterward tranferred to the 1st Regiment in 
said Line commanded by Col. Joseph Vose. I continued in said service in said 
company until the ninth day of June in the year 1783, when I was honorably 
discharged by General Washington, and received a written discharge. I was in 
the battle of Stillwater and the battle of Yorktown. I received a wound in the 
Indian War, while in a detachment under Capt. William Eaton, and I was put 
on the i^ension list." 

After the war he settled in Great Barrington, Mass., where he lived until 1809. 
In that year he removed to Lebanon, N. H., where he resided the remainder of his 
life. He was probably the James Trowbridge who served in the War of 1812, 
and enlisted from Hanover, N. H., September 28, 1814, for sixty days' seiwice in 
Capt. 'William Courson's company. Except for the years passed in the army, he 
was always engaged in farming.

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 1,51) 

In his application for a pension Sergeant Trowbridg-e details his war service 
as follows: "In the year 1777, on the 2d day of January, I engaged in a regiment 
commanded by Col. Setli Warner, for 'during the war.' I fought, and served my 
country faithfully through the war to the end, without any impeachment, through 
thick and thin, cold, wet and dry, sometimes half naked and half star\-ed, often 
glad to get raw hides to sew on our feet in cold winter weather to keep them from 
freezing. When on duty or sentry, I suffered the fatigues and hardships of a 
long war, two years in captivity, taken at Fort George, on Lake George, and 
when exchanged, I, with pleasure, returned to duty again, and sensed to the end 
of the war, and got an honourable discharge from General Washington, specify- 
ing in it that I was entitled to the badges of honour for my faithful service to 
my counti"y, it being six years and seven months; after I got from the war I 
got married and lived in Salisbury in Connecticut, but not getting any pay for 
the last part of the war we all had to come home poor."* 

His widow in her pension apiJication recited the following narrative: "I wag 
taken a prisoner with my husband and so kept over two years, in the time of the 
Revolution. My mother was opposed to my marriage; my father dead. 
Trowbridge stole me away and married me with little form and in haste — my 
brother. Captain Frasier, belonged to the British army, and my uncle was General 
Frasier, killed at the Battle of Saratoga. This Captain Frasier was in the habit 
of visiting me and happened to be there when my husband and I came back 
after the reconciliation with my mother, which was two or three weeks after the 
marriage. The next night Captain Frasier came with some men and took us both 
prisoners and carried us to Montreal. Mr. Trowbridge was a great singer of 
songs, and knew many adapted to the times and our situation, and used to sing 
them in Montreal, for which he was frequently imprisoned, when Captain Frasier 
was not there; but as soon as he found it out he was released through his 
influence on my account, as I insisted on and was permitted to share his close 
confinement."* 

After the war Stephen Trowbridge engaged in farming. He lived for a time 
in Salisbury, Conn., and then removed to Vermont and settled on a farm in tJie 
town of Williston. Wliile clearing up land he was injured by a rolling log, and 
had to give up his farm. He was then engaged in mercantile business for several 
j'ears in Sullivan. Oneida county, N. Y. He left his family in that town and 
went to Canada, where he was in business for several years. In 1817 he removed 
to Berkshire, Vt., where he resided the remainder of his life.

"Once on a time there was a string of Trowbridge famis about a mile long 
one-half mile south from Tully village, in the town of Preble, connnencing with 
William and his family of boys on the north ; Milo, my father, next ; Uncle 
James next; and Uncle Hiram with his boys in the old, big red house of 
Grandfather Seth; next was Uncle Samuel, brother of Seth. All of these were 
farmers brought up to the trade of farming, and it was a real Trowbridge neigh- 
borhood. But oh, how changed it now is! I am the only Trowbridge living in 
the two towns; all have pased away, or wandered off to the Far West. Grand- 
father Seth was a strong, enterjirising Yankee. His wife was of Dutch descent, 
intelligent and hardy. Most of their seven sons were six-footers, and the six 
daughters were as fine-looking girls as could be found round about.":^

Levi Trowbridge came in boyhood with his mother to Truxton, N. Y. After 
his marriage he settled in Trumansburgli, N. Y., and ongiiged in farming. 
Family records show that he served in the War of 1812, and that in 1814 he was 
a captain of infantry in the army which operated against the British forces on 
the Canadian frontier. A descendant wrote the following anecdote about him 
while he was in this campaign. "Wliile he was in camp, three men were killed 
on picket duty. He took that position, and while on post heard a noise, and it 
being too dark for him to see the object which caused it, he waited until it came 
closer and fired, killing an Indian. I'he guards had been stabbed in the back 
by Indians, who had then crept on. He was promoted for this service. Hi.s 
friends always spoke of him as "Major Ti-owbridge,' but his letters that I have 
are addressed to him as Col. Levi Trowbridge."t 

Colonel Trowbridge removed to Indiana in the fall of 1825 and settled near 
what is now the town of Harrisburgh in Fayette county. He was there engaged 
in farming and horse raising until a few years before his death, which occurred 
at the home of his son Doctor John in LeRoy, 111. He and his wife were 
members of the Baptist church, and he was a Royal Arch Mason.

Henry P. Trowbridge, as he grew into young manhood, found a desire on the 
part of his family that he should study for the medical profession ; but his 
plans were made to follow the business of his father in Litchfield. He was a 
thrifty yoimg man, and in 1840 he built the house which he and his wife 
occupied after their marriage, the following year, and in which he lived until 
his death. He assumed the business of his father shortly after the latter's death. 

His knowledge of skins and leather was that of a master, and he was the 
authority for all Litchfield county and beyond. He was alwa.ys in funds for 
buying stock and frequently had a surplus, but he kept everything on the move, 
and the market opened for the finished product when it was ready. He was a 
good buyer, which meant half sold to him. He added to the structure built up 
and left him by his father until there was no more convenient land available in 
the rear. He built vats in the open space before the building, which were well 
utilized. If a tanner to-day put hundreds of dollars worth of skins and leather 
in vat^ outside his building, he would be considered as running some risk. His 
method of tanning was bark and cold water pickle, and fine leather was the 
result. His leather never came out of the vats for dressing until his individual 
eye and his handling assured him it was rightly cured. He was successful from 
the beginning and the years during the Civil War and a few years following were 
prosperous ones for him.:j:

in Tully until a little over a year after his marriage. On February 4, 1810, he 
left there for that part of Ontario county later set oif as Wayne county. He and 
his wife and babe made the journey on an ox-sled. On his arrival in his new 
home he built a log cabin, using for a time blanlvets in place of doors. He was 
a man of untiring energy, and cleared and farmed two hundred acres, although 
in those days there was no machinery for uprooting trees or for sowing or 
harvesting grain. There were no canals or railroads, for transportation and the 
nearest market was Albany. He made frequent journeys there in his springless 
lumber wagon. He also visited his brothers in other parts of the state and in 
Ohio in the same conveyance. His farm was three miles from [ the village of 
Newark, of which he was one of the first settlers and which was in that part 
of the county which became the town of Arcadia. He resided there the 
remainder of his life, a period of sixty-six years. 

Mr. Trowbridge was converted to Christ in the year 1812 and immediately 
comieeted himself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he served for 
many years in various official relations, being a class- leader for more, than thirty 
years. He was one of the first Methodists formed into a class in the town, and 
one of the original members of the Methodist church in Newark. He was 
identified with this church for sixty-four years, and was zealous in all good 
works. As a citizen, neighbor and Christian he commanded the respect and 
confidence of all who knew him.

bom , 1800, in Preble; died , 18G2, in Greeley, Iowa. 

John Trowbridge came in childhood with his parents to New York. He 
settled after his marriage in Preble, N. Y., and engaged in farming. In 1833 he 
followed his elder brother to Solon, Ohio, where he was engaged in farming for 
twenty years. In 1854 he again took up his journey westward, and with some of 
his children made his home near Greeley in Elli township, Delaware county, 
Iowa. After the death of his wife, in 1862, he went to live with his son P. D. 
Trowbridge in Manchester, Iowa, where he lived until late in life. His old age 
was passed in the homes of several of his daughters, and he died at the home of 
his youngest daughter in Morganville, Kan. 

"His life had bei'n the busy, ju'actical life of the common American citizen — a 
life which enters into the warp and woof of our civilization and elevates it. For 
eighty .years he had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, cherishing 
an abiding faith in the virtues of the Christian religion. His life will long 
remain in the remembrance of all who knew him, as an incentive to holy living 
and an impetus toward building up a character which shall become a portion of 
the social wealth."

"The fouutry was new in southern Onondaga county ; few settlers, and help was 
scarce, and self reliance was necessary for existence. The family had to have a new 
house, and the lumber was got out winters. Milo and his father, Seth, went often with- 
out shoes, and wore cloth or home made coverings, and many times when their feet were 
cold they would sit down in the woods and wrap them in their long tail coats to warm 
them. This experience was not altogether new with Seth, because he had been a Revo- 
lutionary soldier and knew something about hardship. 

"Money being scarce, Milo found employment summers with a Canadian lumber com- 
pany on the St. Lawrence river, rafting logs down the famous rapids. One season, when 
he was about twenty-five years old, for some rea.son the last raft for that year was 
several days late in making a start. The river was unusually high and most of the men 
refused to ride the logs through the rapids. The company called for men, and finally 
nine were on hand for the undertaking. Milo being a large man, and having had exper- 
ience, was given charge of the float and took liis position on the front end with a good 
supply of pike-poles. It was a large raft and only nine men aboard. A large crowd 
came to see it off. It was let loose, and the current soon had it under wa.v. When it 
was twenty or thirty rods from the shore, Milo saw all his men except one had deserted 
and were swimming for the shore. They were as a rule Canada-French. Only one man 
was now with him. a plucky little Frenchman. The company never expected the raft 
to go through after the men left it, but it did. It was the first time such an amount 
of logs ever went down in charge of two men. and no doubt the last. The -ride was very 
exciting and he thought on several occasions the raft was going onto the rocks. For this 
extraordinary duty the company gave him and the Frenchman 37 cents each. This com- 
pany paid him S dollars per month."*

in a shingle mill at Loclqjort, N. Y., in which business he was engaged until 1852. 
At the latter date he began witli the same brother the manufacture of staves at 
the same place, which was continued until 1863, when they came to Toledo, 
Ohio, and continued the same business. Another brother, Mortimer, became a 
partner in 1864, from which date the firm was known as Trowbridge Brothers. 
Another mill was built by them at Napoleon, Ohio, in 1867. In 1874 he bought 
out his brothers' interest in the Toletlo mill and sold tliem his interest in the 
Napoleon mill. 

Mr. Ti-owbridge then took his son as a jjartner, and from that time until 1880 
tlie business was conducted under the firm name of D. N. Trowbridge & Son. 
In 1878 the mill was removed to Le Mojaie. tweh-e miles from Toledo. In 1880 
the son formed a partnership with Joseph M. Spencer, the firm name becoming 
Trowbridge & Spencer. Mr. Trowbridge continued the business at Le Moyne 
until 1885, when he removed to Dunbridge, fourteen miles from Toledo, where 
he has established a stave and heading mill, sawmill, and hoop mill. In 1883 he 
built an additional mill at Luckey and in 1884 purchased a mill at Defiance. In 
the former his brother Mortimer was partner for a short time, but at the present 
time his son-in-law Mr. N. B. Eddy is a partner in both concerns under the firm 
name of Trowbridge & Eddy. Mr. Trowbridge is at the present time one of the 
largest stave manufacturers in that section, furnishing at his three mills employ- 
ment to 150 men. The general business ofiice is located on Summit street, 
Toledo. 

Politically Mr. Trowbridge has always been guided by his convictions of right, 
and no man is stronger in his allegiance to his convictions of duty and the 
course his conscience approves. A measure or principle he believes to be founded 
in the right would receive his support regardless of what other men might do. 
Moral courage has never been lacking in him to desert any party whom he 
believed in the wrong. He cast his first vote as a Democrat. Ijut when the Free 
Soil party came into existence he attached himself to that organization, a step 
which brought upon him the ridicule and almost personal persecution of his 
former party friends. 

Upon the formation of the Eepublican party he joined that organization and 
remained with it until 1872, when the question of the legal suppression of the 
liquor traflSe became a prominent issue. This cause appealed to him as one of 
the objects most desired for the well-being of society. Accordingly he joined the 
ranks of the Proliibition party, and from that day to this has been one of its 
most active members in his section of the country. He has ever been ready at 
whatever sacrifice of time and money to aid in promulgating and instilling in 
the minds of the people the aims and purposes of a cause he firmly believes will 
yet be crowned with success. 

The firm position taken by Mr. Trowbridge on this question in the early 
organization of the Prohibition party made him at the time one of the very few 
advocates of the cause in Toledo; but the idea which was then ridiculed and 
denounced he since has had the satisfaction of seeing develop into one of the 
most commanding questions before the people of this country. While men may 
differ with Mr. Trowbridge on questions of e.xiiediency and methods of carrying 
out desired reforms, still, it is not too much to say that no man who knows him 
ever questioned the honesty and sincerity of his motives in any position he 
assumes, either of a political, social, or moral nature. The rare quality of 
moral courage is the strongest element in his character and this naturally 
enlists the confidence, respect and esteem of all good men. 

In all that pertains to religious affairs, Mr. Trowbridge has always been a 
zealous worker. Ever since he came to Toledo he has been a member of the 
First Congregational Church, in which for over twenty years he has been a 
prominent office bearer, and he is still serving as a deacon. For over thirty years 



218 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

he has been superintendent of the Allen Street Mission, where his unremitting 
labors have materially assisted in the building up of that worthy institution. 
Every deserving work of charity in Toledo linds in him an earnest, liberal 
supporter, while on all questions affecting the public prosperity he ever evinces 
the spirit which should actuate a progressive citizen and wellwisher of the 
public good.*

Waupun, Wis.; married February 8, 18.38, in Malone, K Y., Sarah Catharine 
\rood, daughter of John and Clarinda (Child) Wood, bom November 14, 1815, 
in Malone; died January 29, 1857, in Waupun. 

Pardon Trowbridge was ten years old when his father died and he was placed 
in the family of a maternal uncle, Cyrus Tracy, who promised to give him three 
months' schooling, at least, every year; but ho did not keep his promise, giving 
Pardon but three months' schooling in all, and making him work very hard. 
But Pardon had such a strong desire for an education, that he improved every 
^ opportunity to learn, even acquiring a knowledge of tlie French language by 
questioning a Frenchman who worked with him on the farm and writing out the 
words as he learned them on scraps of paper. He read everything that he could 
get to read, and became a man well informed on all important questions of his 
day. He lived with his uncle until he was twenty-one. He settled after his 
marriage in Bombay, X. Y., where he was engaged in farming for seventeen years. 
In 1855, in company witli his elder brother Samuel, he emigrated to Janesville, 
Wis., locating the following j'ear in Chester township, near Waupun, where he 
and his wife died a few months later. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a Christian man, and one who commanded the love and 
respect of his friends and acquaintances, judging from what they said and wrote 
of him after his death. He was much interested in education and was most 
an.^ious that his children should be well educated, feeling keenly his own lack 
of early advantages for study. He was also interested in religious movements 
and was a strong temperance man, when it meant something to be a total 
abstainer. Flo took keen interest in the agitation against slavery and, had he 
lived a few years longer, he undoubtedly would have been active for its abolish- 
ment. "He left a legacy to his children more valuable than money or lands."

Henry Trowbridge was born on the banks of the Kennebec river, and there 
grew to nianliood. In 1846 he came to Elmira, N. Y., where he was employed in 
running circular saws. While living there, he sent to Boston for a steam rail- 
road w-histle and attached it to a boiler at Hendy Hollow, near Elmira, complet- 
ing the job at four o'clock in the morning. When he pulled the valve and the 
strange startling sound aroused the people from their slumbers, and they came 
to the mill in a hurry to learn what the trouble was, they were agreeably 
surprised to find themselves in no danger. After his marriage he purchased the 
farm at Trowbridge, .Jackson township, Tioga county. Pa., where he lived forty- 
seven years. He was the fii-st person in that vicinity to receive a deed for his 
property. He returned to Maine the following year and brought out his father, 
mother and three sisters to share his home with him. 

Mr. Trowbridge always took an active interest in etlueational matters and was 
also a firm supjjorter of the government during the dark days of civil strife. 
When the railroad was built he deeded to the company a site for a station as well 
as the right-of-way through his land, and in liis htmor the station was named 
Trowbridge. A post office was also established there bearing the same title. 
Although not activ'C in polities, he served as school director for nine years and 
always fulfilled the duties of a good citizen. He was kind and charitable, and, 
while enjoying the fruits of his early industry, he also enjoyed the confidence 
and esteem of the community up to the time of his death.

234 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

John F. Trowbridge was educated at the district scliools, with a term or two 
at Hudson Academy. He studied medicine witli Dr. Pugsley in his native town, 
and then became a student in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New 
York City, from which he was graduated with the degree of M.D. in 1812. He 
was then assistant in Bellevue Hospital for a short period, after which he came 
to New Hartford, Oneida county, N. Y., and began the practice of his profession. 
He remained there only a few years, however, and then removetl to Bridgewater, 
a few miles south, in the same county. 

"In 1810 my father went to Horse Heads, N. Y.. built an 'ark' as it was 
called, on a tributaiy of the Alleghany river, and taking on board his wife and 
baby, a relative of her's named Leonard, and a black boy, Titus, whom he had 
bought for $100 (slavery then existed in New York), together with household 
effects, team and wagon, floated down the Alleghany to Pittsburg, and thence 
down the Ohio to Evansville, Ind. ; their destination being the Wabash country, 
tlie then Eldorado of the whole country. Thence they proceeded by land sixty 
miles northward up the Wabash valley to the present site of Princeton, where 
they settled to make a home. Here my father expected to establish himself in 
the practice of his profession, but, instead of practice, he became a pemianent 
patient and was ill with malarial fevers for the entire j'ear. The next year, 1820, 
as soon as the weather settled, he returned, wagoning the whole distance and 
camping out, my mother and the baby in the farm wagon, fording streams often 
bed deep, and crossing the Alleghany Mountains by very steep and dangerous 
trails. They arrived at his former home, Bridgewater, in the fall and settled 
themselves for a permanent stay." 

Doctor Trowbridge immediately took an active interest in all schemes for 
improvement of the community about him, and soon became an acknowledged 
and honored leader in public affairs, though known as a "free thinker" end not 
a member of any religious body. This, too, at a time when such an attitude was 
wont to produce ostracism; but that did not disturb him. He lived a pure, 
earnest, and charitable life, and had the public esteem of church members as well 
as others, and was always and everywhere popular with the clergy. He never 
denied his professional services to anyone at any time of night or day, winter 
or summer, stormy or fair, pay or no pay. Many and many a time he was 
known to get up at midnight in a cold winter night, harness his own horse, and 
start off in a driving snowstorm, over unbroken roads, to go some miles to attend 
a sick person, from whom he was so certain that no payment was to be exjiected 
that he never even noted the visit in his account book ; but he never left such an 
abode without seeing that the occupants had everything necessary to the recovery 
of the sick. His practice soon became exclusive, and no rival physician could 
gain a foothold. He always took great interest in boys who manifested an 
interest in books and study and seemed desirous of self-improvement. He 
encouraged all such, and lent them books and advised them in their studies. 
His office had always several students, who, as was then the custom, were also 
inmates of his family. Among them several rose to distinction, notably, Asa 
Gray, the eminent botanist. 

He took a leading part in establishing the Bridgewater Academy, which early 
became one of the best and most widely known schools in the state, when such 
institutions were more rare than are the lesser colleges of the present day. In 
1831 he was elected a member of the New York Assembly, and during the winter 
session at Albany he selected and purchased the first village library with funds 
which he had helped to collect for the purpose. There were very few public 
libraries then in the state, and none in any of the neighboring villages. By 
means of that and the academy, the community and the surrounding farming 
population became eventually noted for intelligence. He was appointed post- 
master by President Jackson and continued in office until he renaoved to 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 235 

Syracuse. In 1841 he \\as again elected a member of the assembly. Meantime 
he had been several times elected supervisor of the town, which made him a 
member of the county board of supervisors. He assisted in raising the first 
military company in the town and was elected its first captain. He soon 
resigned, as his Quaker training had been too impressive to permit his partici- 
pation in military affairs in time of peace. But, when real war came in 1861, he 
was a "War Democrat" and supported the administration strenuously through- 
out. He was an active Free Mason, rising to be master of his lodge and finally 
a Knight Templai'. 

In 1843 Doctor Trowbridge removed to Syracuse, N. Y. There, in a much 
larger and more popidous community, he quickly attained to an extensive pro- 
fessional practice and became equally as popular as in Bridge water, and again 
especially with the clergy. He was there also elected a supcr^'isor of the city. He 
continued to reside and practice his profession in that city until he died. In 
all his professional life he never sued any person for services, or, in fact, for any 
cause. He lived well, almost affluently, for his time and surroundings, and 
gave his children a good education. Although he lost his entire fortune when 
seventy years of age through a dishonest bank failure, it was scarcely missed, as 
his professional income was then more than necessary for his requirements; and 
when he died ten years later, he had again accumulated a small competency. 
He was stricken with paralysis in November, 1871, when still in full practice, 
and died in the following February. He was buried with full Masonic honors.*

old barroom, kitchen and dining room of this once noted tavern are well pre- 
served; also the old sigTi of the Indian and his arrows, though it no longer 
invites the traveler to rest. Here were seen the old tester bedsteads with blue 
and white linen hangings such as some of us now cherish as the handiwork of 
our grandmothers. From the porch views of river, hills and meadows of great 
beauty are obtained, and pleasure seekers much frequent this locality. Trow- 
bridge's creek reaches the river just below."t He was elected poor-master of the 
township in 1813. Willingborough was named Great Bend in 1814, and on 
February 10 of that year he was elected one of the first board of managers of the 
first Great Benfl Bridge Company. He was active in town affairs and held the 
office of justice of the peace for many years.

from the latter place to the landing for shipping purjioses. The brothers divided 
their work in a way, as the firm of John Trowbridge & Bros. John, being the 
elder, attended mostly to the outside negotiations, sales, purchases, negotiating 
funds, ete. ; Levi and Hubbard attended to the land looking, cutting and driving 
of logs, manufacture of the lumber, etc.; and Smith to the details of the retail 
yard, office work, books, ete. ; but they were always in close touch when possible.

Silas T. Trowbridge after the death of his mother in 1839 went to live with 
his brother-in-law Mr. Thomas and enjoyed good schooling. At the age of six- 
teen he commenced teaching in the district school in the same district where he 
was born, being thus engaged for several seasons. In the fall of 1843 he went 
to McLean county. 111., and taught school in Heyworth. Wliile there, he com- 
menced the study of medicine, simply as a pastime, in the winter of 1845-6, 
reading at the farm residence of Mr. Joseph Noble, father of Dr. Stephen W. 
Noble, near Heyworth, He was also occupied in illustrating "Turner's 
Inorganic Chemistry," save the manufacture of strychnia and sulphuric acid, for 
which he did not have the requisite machines. Early in his reading he laid down 
the rule for himself, that he would never pass a word of which he could not give 
the definition and root, and he faithfully observed it, at the expense of much 
laborious research. In .lune he returned to Fayette county. Ind.. to the home of 
his brother-in-law Mr. Thomas. His father was opposed to his entering the 
medical profession and urged him to turn his attention to the study of law, but 
on February 24, 1848, he determinedly recommenced the study of medicine with 
Dr. David Cheney of Heyworth. That fall he went to study with Dr. Harrison 
Noble, where he finished his studies, and began practice at what is now Atlanta, 
111., on July 4, 1849. On October 28 of that year he located at Decatur. 111. In 
October, 1850, he entered Rush Medical College, Chicago, from which he was 
graduated the day of his marriage. He then returned to Decatur and re-engaged 
in practice. 

Doctor Trowbridge was the first physician in Illinois to offer his services as 
regimental surgeon. He responded to President Lincoln's call of April 17. 1861, 
and was conunissioned on April 25. 1861, surgeon of the Sth Illinois Infantry, 
and was stationed at Cairo and Bird's Point until his three months' enlistment 
had expired. He re-enlisted July 25 in the same regiment and served in its 
campaigns, being stationed at the hospital at Cairo until February. 1862. He

was at Fort Heury, and acted as aide fur Col. 11. J. Oglesbj', and captured a 
Clonfederate flag and horse. He was at Fort Donelson under fire, when the enemy 
surrounded two of his field hospitals, but no surgeon left his post nor was 
a wounded man captured. After this cami^aigii he was ofl'ered by Col. John A. 
Logan the commission of surgeon-in-chief of the Third Division, 17th Army 
Corps, but declined, in order to become medical director with the forces to be 
assigned to his old commander. Major-general Oglesby, but this was not possible 
as the latter was assigned to a new command outside that corps. He was brigade 
slirgeon until October, 1862, and was in the battle of Shiloh, the siege of Corinth, 
the occupation of Jackson, Tenn., and the battle of Britton's Lane, and went 
with his old regiment to the siege of Vicksburg. He was appointed surgeon-in- 
chief of the Third Division and chief of the Board of Operations. lie was in 
the battles of Magnolia Church, Raymond, Champion's Hill, Big Black River, 
ending with the siege of Vicksburg, and being afterwards on garrison duty there. 
He served three years and three mouths in the army, being at the "cleaning up" 
of twenty-three battles and one hundred nineteen days under fire, winning the 
highest praise from the oificers of the connnand. He was mustered out July 27, 
1864. He delivered the oration at Decatur on Decoration Day, 1869. 

Doctor Trowbridge was the chief organizer and one of the founders in 185.3 
of the Macon County Medical Society. He was offered the office of its president, 
which he declined, but accepted that of its secretary and treasurer. He joined 
the American Medical Association in 1854. He was elected a member of the 
Illinois State Medical Society in 1854; was elected its second vice-president in 
1859 ; was appointed chairman of its committee on the practice of medicine in 
1860; and was the originator of the medical practice act of the state of Illinois. 
In 1866 he was elected first vice-president, and filled the oflice of president, owing 
to the absence of that oificer. In 1867 he was appointed chairman of its com- 
mittee to memorialize the legislature to pass laws prohibiting incompetent 
persons from practicing medicine and to grant dissecting privileges to medical 
men. In 1868 he was elected president. 

Doctor Trowbridge was made a Mason on May 5, 1850, in Macon Lodge, No. 
8, at Decatur, 111., and before June 24 of that year he was raised to the degree of 
Master Mason. In 1855 a chapter of Royal Arch Masons was established in 
Decatur, and he was one of the first three persons exalted to the Royal Arch 
degree in Macon Chapter, No. 21. In June following he was elected high priest 
of the chapter, and at the convocation of the grand chapter of the state at Jack- 
sonville in September of the same year he was elected grand scribe, and the 
following year at Springfield was chosen grand king. This office entitled him 
to membership, by delegation, in the General Grand Chapter of the United States, 
held that year at Hartford, Conn., but he could not well leave his practice, and 
sent a deputy. 

Doctor Trowbridge was appointed consul at Vera Cruz, Mexico, on April 19. 
1869. On July 11 of that year he entered upon his official duties as consul. 
This was soon after the withdrawal of Maximilian's forces, which had attempted 
to establish an empire in Me.xieo, just at the close of the Civil War, and a treaty 
between the United States and Mexico was just then coming into force. Mexico 
had cut off all diplomatic and consular relations with Franco, England and 
Spain, and the United States government had been asked to take charge of the 
archives, and to transact the consular services of these countries, through the 
U. S. consulate at Vera Cruz. In this manner Doctor Trowbridge acted in the 
capacity of French, English and Sjianish consul for many years, to the perfect 
satisfaction of these countries. Several of his consular reports to the State 
Department were published in the City of Mexico, by orders from Washington. 
He was beloved and respected by all who knew him, and upon his retirement from 
the consulate at Vera Cruz, after thirteen years of arduous labors, upon the

appointment of Hon. E. H. Eodgers as consul, who died of yellow fever thirteen 
days after his arrival in Vera Cruz, the citizens without distinction, petitioned 
the United States government to re-appoiut him. Doctor Trowbridge's 
researches, studies, and observations upon yellow fever were very extensive, some 
of them being published in Mexico, while others were sent to Washington in his 
diplomatic correspondence. 

On September 2, 1S86, he sailed with his family from Vera Cruz, and arrived 
at Los Angeles, Cal., via New Orleans, October 12. After three months' resi- 
dence there he removed to San Francisco, where he remained one year. He 
then entered into partnership with Dr. J. W. Hostetler at Napa, Cal., and in 
February, 1887, removed his family to that place, and continued there until 
his death.

Joseph B. Trowbridge came to Ohio in 1818 with his parents, who located in 
Greene township, on the east fork of Taylor's creek, Hamilton county, and there 
he also settled on a farm. At this time the religious reformation under B. W. 
Stone and co-laborers was waking up the people, and he, having been raised a 
strict Calvinist-Presbyterian, got into several religious controversies, especially 
witli Father Shumaker. and always came oft' second best. He became satisfied 
that the Bible only would do to tie up to as infallible, and, dropping all his creed 
ideas, he began to study the Scriptures with an interest he had not hitherto 
known; and from his studies ho learned how to become a Cliristian and sub- 
mitted himself to the Lord, fully determined to follow the teachings of the 
Scriptures. He soon became an exhorter and in a few years was ordained an 
evangelist. His first labors were in the western part of Hamilton county, Ohio, 
and in Boone county, Ky. The church, now known as White Oak Church, was 
founded by him. He also preached for the Carthage, Mount Pleasant, Cummins- 
ville and Miamitown congregations; also in many places in Indiana, where the 
greater part of the last forty-three years of his life were spent. Many are there

Jnne 3, lS04, in Mendham; died May 18,' 1884, in Fayette. 

Abner Trowbridge came in 1808 with his mother and maternal grandfather, 
William Denman, to what was known as the Owl Creek valley, in what is now 
Chester township. Morrow county, Ohio. That part of the country was the 
Eldorado of the "Great West," as it was then known, and was a very rich and 
productive locality. He was taken into the home of his grandfather Denman and 
brought xxx> by him. He had no time for school, and, even if he had had, there 
was no school for him to attend, as it was many years after that before a school 
was established near there. He grew to manhood surrounded on all sides by 
environments that called for physical rather than mental development. The 
whole country around was densely timbered and required an immense amount of 
hard work to clear up so that the rich, virgin soil could be cultivated, and every 
hand, no matter how small, of Mr. Denman's family had to be put to work. 
Being naturally industrious, he early learned almost every kind of mechanical 
work. He learned the cooper's trade and it was said, that when Abner Trow- 
bridge made a barrel, neither wind nor water could get out when in, nor get in 
when out; and of the thousands of barrels which he made none ever came back 
to be reconstructed. He was a conscientious workman in whatever he did and 
his business watchword was, "Be honest." 

He became a wagon-maker and built many of them at a time when six-horse 
wagons were in great demand, and when very few orders were placed for less than 
foiir-horse wagons; but he also built light one-horse buggies and other vehicles. 
He followed carpentering, and was a contractor for many large (at that time) 
buildings and flour mills of the largest size. He was a good superintendent of 
construction and was never happier than when building some large structure. 
There was a saying about his buildings, that the wind might roll them over, but 
could never blow them down or to pieces. He was in the carpenter business for 
many years and had many men in his employ. ■ He was. always- kind to his 
employes, and many warm attachments grew out of that business. In 1838 and 
the early part of 1839 he built a water-power sawmill in Middlebury township, 
Knox county, and retired from the carpenter business. He started his mill in 
February, 1839, and continued to run it until 1850, when he sold out. In 
September, 1851, he removed to the northwestern part of Ohio, where he bought 
eighty acres of dense woodland in Williams county, near the village of West 
Unity. Four years later he sold that, and in August, 1855, bought eighty acres 
in Gorham township, Fulton county, close to the site of the present city of 
Fayette, where he resided the remainder of his life. 

Abner Trowbridge was a born military man and took great interest in military 
affairs. He was commissioned ensign of the Second Company, 2d Regiment,

good commander, and, being a tall, straight, well-proportioned man, he made a 
fine-looking officer. He and his brothers were what were called Jackson Demo- 
crats in politics. Their church afKliations were with the Old Close Communion 
Baptist Church. Colonel Trowbridge was a manly man, a man of invincible 
integrity, strictly honest, kind-hearted and generous. He was kind to his family, 
a good husband, and his home was always a sunshiny place.

man. He settled after his marriage in Chester township, and lived there until 
1848. He then removed to Eichland township, Steuben county, Ind., where he 
continued to work at his trade. After his second marriage he settled in Butler, 
De Kalb county, Ind. After the death of his second wife, he gave up business 
and lived among his children until the .year 1878, when he made his permanent 
home with his eldest daughter in Waterloo, Ind., where he died a few months 
later. In polities he was a Democrat and in religion he was an "Old School 
Baptist." He was a very kind-hearted man and a strictly honest one, and gave 
his very large family all the advantages his means permitted.

good workmanship. He was naturally good at mathematics and could easily 
figure out any contracts that were let out to him in business. Hard problems in 
arithmetic were sent from all sides to him to be solved, as he was considered a 
prodigy in that line. He followed his business for many years, but finally bought 
a small farm in IMt. Gilead, Ohio, and devoted his attention to farming the 
remainder of his life. He served as treasurer of Morrow county, and had a 
high reputation in the community. He was a good musician in his day and

Denipsey Trowbridge was quite well educated for his times. He married and 
settled on a farm seven miles south of Salem, the county seat of Washington 
county, Ind. Besides cultivating his farm, he taught school, and in May, 18:5(i, 
he received a license to preach from the Liberty (Disciple's) Church of Washing- 
ton county. In the fall succeeding his death, his widow removed with her 
children and her parents to Martinsville, Morgan county, Ind. 

'"He and his wife were of the sturdy, hard-working ]K'ople who labored 
to establish their home amid the forests of Indiana, and the principles of honor 
and integrity of the parents were found e.xemplified in their children. The 
father was laying broad and deep the foundation for the culture and develop- 
ment of his family, but was called away to his eternal reward, leaving the mother 
with the family of children to care for. This great sorrow came in 1839, just 
at the time of the great panic, when many people were subjected to bitter 
poverty. The mother's executive ability, with the cheerful assistance of the 
children, tided them over the diflicult shoals, and launched them out on the sea 
of life to succe-ss and prosperity."

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY o^l 

Marcus H. Trowbridge came in boyhood with his father to Catskill, N. Y. 
After leaving school he learned the printing trade with John R. Sylvester in the 
Recorder office, afterwards working for Joseph Joesbury in the Democrat office. 
In 1845, when only eighteen years of age, with Ward Gunn, who later became 
his brother-in-law, he bought the Catskill Messenger, the local organ of the Whig 
party. The name of the paper was changed to the Greene County Whig in 1849, 
and finally, in 1857, to the Catskill Examiner. The paper has been Republican 
in politics ever since the birth of that party. The partnership of Trowbridge & 
Guim ceased on January 1, 1864, from which time the business was continued by 
Mr. Trowbridge alone. At the times of these various changes the paper was 
enlarged and improved in its different departments as the increasing business 
warranted. Beginning before he had attained his majority, he was a publisher 
for over forty-five years and died literally in tlie harness. lie was frequently 
solicited to accept public office, but always declined, preferring to devote his 
whole time to the editing of his paper. 

"Loyal to his party, he was not offensively aggressive. Preferring peace with 
all men, and submissive to discourtesies which most men would resent, when 
pressed to return an assault his pen cut to the blood line. Xo one deplored more 
than he these occasions, and no one welcomed more than he the advent of 
impersonal journalism, bringing in broader views of men and politics. With 
him, friendship was more than friendliness — it was devotion. Only his most 
intimate friends knew and felt the strength of this trait. It was not paraded as 
a rare quality, but was shown in the every-day uses of life. And doubtless it 
was largely due to this feature of his character, that many of those who had at 
one time and another been estranged by the animosities of partisan warfare 
became his steadfast friends. 

''In one point especially his editorial work deserves notice and emulation. His 
columns were kept clean. Good taste and good principle ruled there, to a degree 
seldom seen in this fast and flippant age; no doubtful jests or floating bits of 
scandal were admitted. He paid great attention to the literary tone of his 
selections, and a piece of good verse was a treasure-trove to him. He took great 
interest in literature, and liked nothing so well as a talk upon literary topics. 
The refinement of his mind was notable. To some extent, these pages have 
always reflected the purity and honesty of their owner's character; but only those 
who have known him well in private relations are aware how fully his life bore 
out this favorable witness. His mind seemed to be of a natural cleaimess that 
was impervious to low temptations; he simply did not know or iinderstand them, 
and had no occasion for 'overcoming' in that respect. In every personal relation 
he was admirable ; his integTity was blameless, his kindness untiring, and his 
forbearance was sometimes even too great; it was so hard to find fault, that no 
^^•ord of complaint would come unless with the sudden rush of a long-pent 
avalanche."*

Jolm FT. Trowbridge entered the United States navy in 1846, during the 
Mexican War. On June 6 of that year he sailed from New York on the warship 
Dale for the Pacific, and was 173 days at sea before arriving at San Francisco. 
Tliey stopped at Eio Janeiro, Valparaiso, Callao and Mazatlan. On the way 
around Cape Horn they ran into a gale of snow and wind on August 23; the 
weather became very cold, their decks were covered with ice, and many of the 
ofEcers and men were badly frozen. He participated in tlie battle on shore at 
•ilulege and had a very shaip fight for about two hours. The ilexicans, being 
taken by surprise, lost quite a number killed and many were wounded. Ho 
resigned from the navy at San Francisco late in 1848. He decided to remain 
there and engage in business, and became a general merchant, investing largely in 
real estate in both San Francisco and Sacramento. At the time of the big fire 
in Sacramento he lost everything he had there, the insurance companies taking 
no risks there at that time. He returned East, secured more goods and capital, 
and returned to California almost immediately. Fortune again came to his 
aid, and he acquired wealth very rapidly. In 185.") he conc]ude<l to return East 
to remain, as he had at that time about $75,000. He made four trips to Cali- 
fornia, two around the Cape and two by the Isthmus. On settling in Albany, he 
went into the wholesale provision business and remained in it until 1864, when he 
retired to enter into the flour, grain and feed trade, in which he was very 
successful. He was g. man universally respected for his many excellent qualities.

Seymour Trowbridge and his wife lived near their childhood's home until 
September, 1835, when they emigrated to Ohio and settled near Solon in Cuya- 
hoga county. When they first settled there the surrounding country was a wilder- 
ness, and on the farm of 200 acres which they bought not a tree had been cut. 
"The farm was so dense a forest that Mr. Trowbridge was compelled to call his 
Tincle to his assistance to locate his farm. They spent nearly one day and 
finally found it by a line of blazed trees made by the surveyors. Here he built 
his log house and felled the mighty forest with his strong and sturdy arm, until 
he had cleared it to raise crops for himself and young wife." He. lived there 
until April, 1863, when he sold his farm and removed to Brooklyn village, now 
included in the limits of tlie city of Cleveland. He purchased a farm near the 
Calvin Institute on Pearl street, and lived in the house near the comer of Trow- 
bridge avenue which is now standing. He lived there four years, and then he 
sold his farm and purchased the residence at the corner of Pearl street and 
Archwood avenue where he lived until he died. , ■ ■ 

Mr. Trowbridge was progressive and was for many years actively ' engaged in 
enterprises having for their object the improvement of the incorporated village of 
Brooklyn. He was several times elected to positions of trust, serving as mayor 
of Brooldyn village for two terms, township tiiistee, etc., positions he always 
filled to tlie satisfaction of the people and honor to himself. He was one of the 
organizers of the Brooklyn Street Railroad Company, and was its only president 
until the purchase of the same by Hon. Tom L. Johnson, the deal being 
negotiated by Mr. Trowbridge. 

He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with which 
Mr. Trowbridge united in 1836, ever since which time he had been a consistent 
member and had served on its official board for a number of years. He and his 
wife were in all probability the oldest married couple in Cuyahoga county, having 
celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary at their home on Pearl street the 
February preceding his death.

James"^-', William^"", Thomas'-), born October 14, 1823, in Tully, N. Y.; resides 
in Tully; married March 2, 1850, in Tully, Betsey Richardson Wooster,* daugh- 
ter of Murray and Betsey (Richardson) Wooster, born January 6, 1828, in 
Middlebury, Conn.; died November 17, 1905, in Tully. 

Robert C. Trowbridge was raised on his father's farm in Tully and was 
educated in the common schools of that town. He has chiefly followed farming, 
but for a time was engaged in the lumber business. He served more than five 
years as one of the keepers of the Onondaga County Penitentiary at Syracuse, 
N. Y., under Superintendent J. J. Williams, and served as supervisor of Tully 
for one year. He came to reside in the village of Tully in 1808, and the follow- 
ing year built a house there, in which he is passing his declining years very 
quietly. The death of Mrs. Trowbridge, two years ago, terminated a married 
life of over fifty-five years. Five years previously their golden wedding 
anniversary was the occasion of a large gathering of their friends and neighbors 
to exisress the friendship and esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge were 
held in Tully. 

Mr. Trowbridge is a Republican in politics, taking a deep interest in his 
nation's welfare, and has strong faith in protection to American industries. He 
is not a member of any church; but believes that right doing, right living, and 
just dealing between man and man, is the rule by which one should conduct his 
life. He has been of great assistance to the compiler of this genealogy by his 
indefatigable efforts to gather the information that has made so complete the 
records of the branch of the Trowbridges who descend from his grandfather.

seat. He had received a good education, which he put to a practical use as a 
school-teacher during several of the first winters that he passed there. Political 
offices were offered to him, hut he always declined, preferring to devote himself 
entirely to his home; and his time was thus occupied until the spring of 18C9, 
when he moved with his family to Platteville, Wis., so that his older children 
might attend the state normal school located there. This necessitated a change 
in various ways, and lie finally became interested in the handling of butter and 
eggs on a large scale, a business with which his name has since been associated. 
He returned to Darlington in 1878, where he spent one year, and in 1879 removed 
to Lancaster, Wis., his present residence, where, besides dealing in the aforesaid 
commodities, he owns a grocery business, in the managemenr of which he is

492. Dr. Newton Trowbridge (Eiram"^^, Seth}^'^, James''-', DanieP^", 
Jamcs'^'''-', WiUiam'<">, Thomas'^), born July 1, 1832, in Preble, N. Y.; died 
December 12, 1902, in Tully, N. Y.; married November 17, 1853, in Tully, Eliza 
Mabetabel Wooster,* daughter of Murray and Eliza (Richardson) Wooster, bom 
September 22, 1834, in Bethlehem, Conn. She resides in Kansas City, Mo. 

Newton Trowbridge first began the study of medicine at Palmyra, N. Y., under 
Dr. Melvin, with whom he remained two years. At the age of nineteen he began 
to study at Rush Medical College, Chicago, 111., at the same time being assistant 
in the office of Dr. Evans, who was a professor in the college. He entered into 
practice in Tully, N. Y., where he remained one year, and then spent two terms 
in the Cincinnati Medical College, where he was graduated with an honorary 
degTee. He then resumed practice in Tully, and met with marked success for 
several years. About the year 1858, when the diphtheria was so fatal in adjoining 
towns, only one case under the doctor's charge proved fatal out of more than 
seventy which he treated. His healtJi failing, he took a trip west to the moun- 
tains, crossing the plains several times, which restored in a measure his health, 
when he again returned to Tully, where he continued to practice for some years. 
In 1870 his healtli failed him again and he moved with his family to Kansas, 
v.'here he was engaged in farming and stock raising for fifteen years. He then 
moved to Council Grove, Kan., and engaged in the drug business. He built 
several fine buildings there and continued in active business life until the spring 
of 1900, when he returned to his old home in Tully to siaend his remaining days. 

As a physician. Doctor Trowbridge was an intelligent, conscientious and care- 
ful practitioner, whose services were in great demand by a large majority of 
people of his own and adjoining towns. He received great honor from these 
patients; and it is not an unusual thing now to hear some one tell what Doctor 
Trowbridge did more than forty years ago for him or some member of his family. 
He had a well-cultivated mind and took pleasure in research and investigation. 
His mind was unusually clear, and his reasoning powers of the highest order. 
He was a man more noted for good deeds than for many words. He was fair 
and candid to an eminent degree, courteous and respectful to all, and attentive 
to all who had claims on him. He was a kind and indulgent husband, and a 
watchful and affectionate parent. He was a correct and conscientious citizen, 
and a lover of his country, being much interested in the reforms and improve- 
ments of the age in which he lived. He was a just and faithful friend, one by 
whose deeds and services this world is made better for his having lived in it. 
He leaves a memory behind him that can be most fondly cherished.

Gardner C. Trowbridge came in boyhood with his father to a farm near 
Oberlin, Ohio, and he was educated at Oberlin College. A few years previous to 
the outbreak of the Civil War he went to Texas with his brother Barlow. After 
the war broke out, he could not get back home and, as he would not fight against 
the North, he took up school-teaching, with which, and with assisting his brother 
in farming and stock raising, he was occupied until 1866. He returned home 
that year, married, and taught school in Americus, Kan., for two years, and then 
in Bloomfield, Ark., until the fall of 1873. He then removed to Tahlequah, 
Indian Territory, where he was a district teacher in the Cherokee Nation, and 
later became principal of the male seminary there. In 1876 he removed to 
Oberlin, Ohio. In 1882 he went to Elgin, 111., where he was connected with the 
watch factory for about two years. In 1884, feeling the need of a more healthful 
occupation, he removed to a farm near Prairie Plains, Tenn., where he resided 
until his death. He became a Free Mason in early manhood. He and his wife 
were confirmed in the Protestant Episcopal church in Oberlin, Ohio, by Bishop 
Bedell in 1877.

614. Kev. Xoble Alexander Trowbridge (Augustus^-^, Oliver^^', Seth^^^, 
SamueP^^, SamiieV"*, V^'illiam^'"', Thomas^), bom March 21, 1832, in Windsor, 
N. T. ; died January 12, 1894, in Longmont, Colo.; married December 2, 1868, 
in Seward, 111., Maria Louise (Holmes) Alyea, widow of Isaiali Alyea of New 
Boston, 111., and daughter of Jolm How and Rhoda Louise (Bennett) Hohnes, 
born June 8, 1834, in Syracuse, N. Y. She resides in Longmont. 

Noble A. Trowbridge went at the age of thirteen years with his parents to Lee 
county. 111. He spent some years on his father's farm in Lee Centre and then 
attended Rock River Seminary at Mt. Morris, 111., after which he again engaged 
in farming. In 1859 with his brothers Lyman and Bradford he crossed the plains 
with ox-teams to the Pacific coast. He and his brothers were engaged in mining 
in Yreka, Cal., until the summer of 1SG2, when they started for Oregon. They 
arrived in what is now Grant county and Noble took up what is known 
as tlie Trowbridge farm on July 19. He taught school in John Day and also 
singing school at Canyon City, and was superintendent of the Sunday school for 
some time at that place. He was also interested in mining. He was elected 
justice of the peace, when honesty and capability were demanded by the hardy 
mining population. He was soon after appointed deputy sheriff by Nate Olney, 
tlien sheriff of Wasco county, and in the winter of 1863 he was appointed by 
Governor Gibs as enrolling officer. This position, as well as that of deputy 
sheriff, during the early mining days and while the battles of the Civil War were 
being fought, called for a cool head, a brave heart, and an honest and 
conscientious man, and Noble Trowbridge had these qualities. 

While he was acting as enrolling officer, a committee waited on him and 
acquainted him with the fact that they had been appointed at a meeting held for 
that purpose to demand the enrollment papers. On his refusing to surrender 
them, one of the committee told him that the streets would run with blood and 
that he would probably lose his own life, if he did not accede to the request. His 
answer came quick and firm: "My life and blood are no better than thousands 
that have laid do-u-n their lives for this cause, and when called to lay it down in 
defense of my country it is ready." His firm but courteous action, the inune- 
diate call to friends of the cause, the cooler judgment of afterthought, and the 
organization of a body of men to act in an emergency, saved bloodshed. By 
riding day and night, he reached The Dalles, two hundred miles away, and thence 
rode on to Portland and Salem. Governor Gibs issued his proclamation, pro- 
claiming that peace and quiet would be enforced by the militia, if necessary; 
but the firm action taken at the commencement had borne its fruit, and the 
proclamation was, we believe, the only one of its kind issued in Oregon during 
that eventful period. Mr. Trowbridge refused office when Grant county was 
organized in October, 1864. He closed up his business in 1866 and went hack 
to his old home in Illinois. 

Mr. Trowbridge had joined the Methodist Church when he was about sixteen 
years old. He had been licensed as an exhorter in that church in 1859, and when 
he crossed the plains to the coast he carried with him a well-established Christian 
character. He sought out the few followers of Christ wherever he dwelt, and 
organized Sunday schools and held religious services as occasion offered. 
Wliile thus engaged, he felt called to the ministry and, in order to be better fitted 
for the work, returned to Illinois and entered the theological department of the 
Northwestern University at Evanston. He joine*! the Rock River Conference 
in 1808. He was at once appointed to Courtland and the next year to Byron. In 
1870 he was left without appointment, at his own request, that he might try the 
climate of Minnesota. He serv^ed Fairmont, Minn., as a supply, and in 1871 was 
transferred to the Minnesota Conference. He there served Fairmont three 
years and Madelia and St. James three years. For pers0n.1l reasons, he took a 
supernumerary relation and went into business in Fairmont. The next year he 



358 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

was made efiective and appointed to Shakopee. On account of throat trouble, he 
took a certificate of location at the close of this year. He soon after went into 
the railway postal service, but after more than four years' work he relinquished 
his place, and in 1886 removed with his family to LongTQont, Colo., and was 
engaged for a few years in the furniture business. He continued preaching 
occasionally, and was always active in the Sunday school and prayer meeting. 
During the last tliree years of his life he was a great suiforer, but he endured all 
with Christian fortitude. 

An intimate friend of Mr. Trov\'hridge writes of him thus : "Xoble Trowbridge 
showed his Christian character in everyday life. He was an honest, upright 
citizen, a loyal friend, a noble son and brother, an affectionate husband, and a 
true Christian, who never tired of telling of his Maker's love and goodness. 
Being an intimate friend of his, I can say for truth he was one of God's 
noblemen."

Ira C. Tro-n-bridge went to Chicago, 111., in 1844, at the age of twenty-one, 
and engaged in the boot and shoe trade on Lake street. Chicago seemed to him 
such a swamp that it could never be a progressive town, so after one year there 
he went on by stage to Woodstock, 111., fifty miles northwest of Chicago, where 
he located. He went back to Xew York to be married and immediately returned 
to Woodstock, where he owned a shoe store and wfls also in the real estate busi- 
ness. In July, 1866, he purchased of Mr. Meyers a farm which is the present 
site of Waseca, Minn., and removed his family there in 186". He was virtually 
the father of the town, having seen it grow from a wheat field to its present 
condition. He was three times its mayor and always manifested a deep interest 
in its welfare and advancement. 

Mr. Trowbridge was an active man, rarely failing in any project he undertook. 
As an instance of this, the people of the county retii-ed one night with the county 
seat in a neighboring town and woke up to find it had been moved in the night 
to Waseca, owing to the efforts of Ira Trowbridge. He had large interests in 
Waseca, and was very well laiown in the country round about. He was a good 
friend, warm-hearted, and generous to the tmforttinate. He was upright in all 
his dealings and his word was as good as his bond.

Theodore M. Trowbridge was brought up on his father's farm in Neiy Fairfield, 
Conn. In the spring of 1865 he went to New Milford, Conn., where he was 
engaged in the carriage painting business about ten years. He then went to work 
as a toolmaker in the ivory button factory of Bostwick Bros., and when that 
firm removed to Bridgeport, Conn., in 1884 he went with them and continued in 
the same position until the business was sold to Massachusetts parties. He then 
went to Stratford, Conn., where he lived about ten years, working for five years 
at carriage painting there and then five years in Bridgeport. He moved his 
family to that city in April, 1907, and at the present time is employed at the 
factory of the American & British Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of

N. Y. ; resides at tlie National Soldiers' Home in Milwaukee, Wis. ; married 
June 18, 1869, in Hannibal, Mo., Anna Hazzard Taft Cottrell, daughter of 
Simon Smith and Amy Gardner (Eimis) Cottrell, born July 12, 1843, in 
Narragansett, R. I. She resides in Minneapolis, Minn. 

Cliarles B. Trowbridge received his early education in the grammar and high 
schools in his native city. At the age of seventeen he was sent to the academy at 
East Bloomfield, N. Y., from which he was graduated three years later. Lie then 
became bookkeeper for a commission house in Buffalo. This proved too con- 
fining, and it was finally decided that he should learn a trade. He took naturally 
to painting, and was soon at work learning that trade. He served an apprentice- 
ship of about two years with E. G. Buchanan and then went to New Orleans to 
work on boat work. This was in 1859. He remained there that winter, return- 
ing to Buffalo in the early spring of 1860. He remained there until after the 
election of President Lincoln, w-hen he returned to New Orleans and resumed 



3(52 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

work on boat painting. After the Louisiana legislature passed the ordinance of 
secession, he decided to return to the North. The embargo on all persons trying 
to leave was very strict, but he finally made his escape in the coal hole of the old 
steamboat Olive Branch, which carried him to St. Louis, aud from there he 
returned to his home in Buffalo. 

About the time of his arrival home the 21st New York Infantry was being 
organized and he at once offered to enlist, but he was rejected by the surgeon as 
lacking in physical ability. He remained in Buffalo, however, until July, 1862, 
when he again offered himself as a volunteer and was accepted. He enlisted for 
the term of three years, or during the war, and was enrolled at Buffalo July 31, 
1862, in Company E, 116th New York Infantry. His regiment was ordered to 
the front, and he soon found himself again in New Orleans with his regiment. 
They wintered at Baton Rouge and early in the spring of 1863 were ordered to 
Port Hudson under Gen. N. P. Banks. He was in the fight at Plains Store, near 
Port Hudson, on May 9, 1863, and in the two assaults on the fort proper on 
May 21 and June 14. He later participated in the battle of Donelsonville. 
With the exception of a few skirmishes, this was the end of their engagements 
for that year. He was at this time offered, and he accepted, a commission as 
lieutenant in a colored regiment, which was being organized by the adjutant of 
his regiment, and of which the latter was made colonel. While acting as 
enlisting officer for this regiment, he had an e.^citing experience with a squad of 
Confederates and only escaped on account of the sujierior speed of his horse. 
He then resigned his commission as lieutenant aiid returned to his old regiment. 
In the spring of 1864 he was in the army of the Department of the Gulf and was 
in the disastrous raid up the Red river, and was engaged in the battle of Sabine 
Cross Roads, Pleasant Hill and Cane River, which were the principal battles of 
that campaigii. His regiment was then transferred to Virginia, and was with 
General Sheridan at the battles of Winchester and Cedar Creek. He later 
received his discharge at Fort Porter, Buffalo, June 28, 1865, having partici- 
pated in nine battles, besides a number of skirmishes. He was never excusetl 
from duty on account of sickness but one day during his two years and ten 
months of service. 

Mr. Trowbridge resided in Buffalo until 1867, when he went with the tide of 
emigration towards the South. He passed the winter at Quincy, 111., and the 
following spring went down the river twenty-five miles to Hannibal, Mo. He 
there met his future wife, who at that time was a mission teacher in the free 
colored schools of Missouri. They resided in Hannibal only about two years after 
their marriage, when, because of the failure of Mrs. Trowbridge's health, they 
were advised to go North, which they did, going at once to Mankato, Minn., where 
they lived until about 1895, when tliey came to Minneapolis, Minn. In May, 
1900, he removed to Anoka, Minn., seventeen miles from Minneapolis, where he 
began poultry raising on a large scale. He continued in that business until a 
few years ago, when he entered the National Soldiers' Home in Milwaukee, Wis. 
He has been captain of a company at the home for the past two years and still 
holds that position, with a prospect of its indefinite continuance. Captain 
Trowbridge voted for Stephen A. Douglas in 1860 and has been a consistent 
Democrat ever since. He has never allied himself with any church denomination, 
but has always believed in and practiced the Golden Rule.

David L. Trowbridge came to Indiana with his father. He remained with his 
parents until he attained his majority, his boyhood days being spent upon the 
farm. When he became of age he engaged in farming near Newcastle, Henry 
county, Ind., but in a few years he sold this place and removed to Blountsville, 
Ind. He there became interested in a sawmill, which he continued to operate 
until its destruction by fire one year later. This left him with but little money, 
but he rebuilt the mill and continued the business for nine years. About the 
time of the burning of tlie mill he began the study of medicine, also practicing a 
little among the neighbors in 1867 in Randolph county. In 1868 he changed 
his location to Cowan, Delaware county, where he remained until 1881, when he 
located in Muncie. Ind. He is now living in Napoleon, Ind.

TROWBRIDGE GENKALOGY 37I) 

Judson Trowbridge until his twelfth year busied himself abovit his fathers 
sawmill in his native town, where he displayed, even at that early age, an intense 
love for machinery. He went with his father to Williams county in 1S51 and 
to Fulton county in 1S55. He helped his father on the farm in Gorham township, 
near the present city of Fayette, cutting timber, logging and doing the otlier 
hard work incident to a new and heavily timbered country. 

He continued his farm work after his marriage and until October, 1864, when 
his iimate love for machinery prevailed over him, and he moved into the village 
of Fayette to take a place in the saw and grist mill of J. O. Allen & Co. He 
soon became a partner in the business, and, in looking after the two splendid 
engines that furnished the power to the mills, he seemed to have found the; 
occupation for which he was fitted. He ran these powerful machines, without an 
accident or a break of consequence, for a period of thirty-three years — a thir<l 
of a century — and by his intelligent supervision he left them, on his retirement 
from the mills, in apparently as good condition as when first taken from the 
shops. 

In the year 1880, while still engaged with the work of the mills, Mr. Trow- 
bridge helped to organize the Bank of Fayette, becoming a stockholder in it witli 
a one-quarter interest. He was chosen one of its directors, and continued a 
stockliolder and director until his death. He was also half-owner of the fine 
bank building. His latter years were passetl quietly in his pleasant home in 
Fayette. He gave valuable assistance to the compiler of this genealogy by 
collecting the records of his branch of the Trowbridge family. 

Mr. C. L. Allen of Fayette, his friend and partner in banking, wrote this 
tribute to his memory : 

"Judson Trowbridge was a citizen of which any city might justly have been 
proud. He was not a member of any sectarian chnreh, for his church was the 
world, and his membership and creed were to be a helpful factor in the world. 
He was public-spirited, generous and kind-hearted. Possessed of a happy, 
joyous disposition, he wants no better epitaph than that the world has been made 
just a little happier for his having lived in it. In political faith he was born and 
reared a Democrat, but during the Civil War he was what was known as a War 
Democi-at, and his heart and purse were at the call of his country; and in all 
political struggles since that time his politics were — his country."

Charles T. Trowbridge when still a boy removed to Brooklyn, N. Y., and lived 
there until the outbreak of the Civil War. He enlisted December 4, 1861, and 
was appointed sergeant in Company F, 1st New York Engineers, being General 
Hunter's orderly, and went with the regiment to the South Carolina coast. 
There he took up the work of drilling the slaves who had come into the camp 
as refugees, and. a provisional organization was formed, in which he was first 
made a captain May 6, 1862, but was not mustered in as such until October 13, 
1862. The regiment was called the First South Carolina Volunteer Infantry, he 
being captain of Company A. Other companies being recruited, he was promoted 
to the rank of major. When colored volunteers became recognized troops and 
tlie regiments were numbered under the government service this regiment became 
the 33d U. S. Colored Troops and Major Trowbridge was promoted December 9, 
1864, to the rank of lieutenant-colonel of the regiment. Col. Thomas Wentworth 
Higginson being its colonel. The regiment was attached to the 10th Anny Corjis 
and was engaged in the operations about Charleston, S. C, during the siege of 
Fort Pulaski. It was in the exi'editions up the Edisto and St. Mary's rivers, 
the action at Morris Island and the siege of Fort Sumter. Colonel Trowbridge 
had a great faculty in dealing with his colored boys, catching their dialect, and 
commanding their confiilence. He was greatly beloved by them, and had such 
success with them that he was assigned to duty with the Freedman's Bureau, 
serving in that capacity at Charleston, S. C, until mustered out March 15, 1866. 
He was honorably discharged March 4, 1866, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel 
but had commanded the regiment for nearly two years, on account of Colonel 
Higginson being wounded and reti'i'ed from active service.f 

After tlie war Colonel Trowbridge returned to his home in Brooklyn, N. Y. 
He sen-ed four terms in the Brooklyn Common Council as alderman from the 
10th Ward, and afterwards was a member of the Now York Assembly, during the 
session of 1879. In April, 1882, he removed to Minneapolis. Minn., where he was 
r(\gularly engaged in his business as a contracting brick mason luitil 1901. He 
was then appointed by Gov. S. F. Van Sant custo<lian of the old state capitol 
building in St. Paul, Minn. He was reappointed by Governor Joluison and 
occupied that position until his death.

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 383 

Colonel Trowbridge was a famous speaker at oampfires, having few equals in 
patriotic oratory, and was also in demand during campaigns. He was past 
commander of George N. Morgan Post. G. A. E., of Minneapolis, and a member 
of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. As a tribute to 
his memory and faithfulness to duty, the governor ordered tlie flag to be hoisted 
to half-mast over the old state capitol and the building closed as far as possible 
on the day of Colonel Trowbridge's funeral. 

In a communication to the Boston Transcript soon after Colonel Trowbridge's 
death, Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who was Colonel Trowbridge's 
superior officer in the early years of the Civil War and his lifelong friend, pays 
this interesting tribute to his memory: "It is sometimes said that the greatest 
real heroes of war are the unknown men, and I have just heard of the death of 
one of these. There are reported by statistics 178,975 men who served as 
colored soldiers in our civil war and the first man who ever enlisted these was 
Lieutenant Colonel Charles T. Trowbridge, who has just died at Minneiipolis, 
where he has acted of late years as custodian of the statehouse. He was 
originally a sergeant in the Civil War in the regiment of Xew York Volunteer 
Engineers under Colonel Serrell, and was detailed from it. May 8, 1862, to 
organize the so-called 'Hunter regiment' of negro soldiers in South Carolina. 
He was a thoroughly trained mechanic, large and strong, with a stentorian voice, 
a fine ear for music and the most fearless disposition; gifts and qualities which 
lie retained up to the end of his life, and which were all thoroughly appreciated 
by negro soldiers and which I fully esteemed when he came under my command. 

"His first enlistment of black soldiers came in with difficulty, not so much from 
personal timidity on their part as because the white officers and soldiers around 
tliem were generally opposed to the experiment and filled the ears of negroes with 
the same tales which had been told by their masters, that the Yankees meant to 
sell them to Cuba and the like. Nobody could assure them that they and their 
families would be legally freed by the government, since no such policy had yet 
been adopted. When Trowbridge visited the first plantation for the purpose, in 
May, 1862, every black man who saw him approach ran at once into the woods. 
One black woman, however, tall and absolutely erect — as the slave women of the 
South always were, being accustomed to cari-y evoiything on their heads — came 
forward and asked him what he wanted. On his explaining, she turned and 
walked into tlie woods by herself and presently came back with all the men 
following. Still the enlistment was slow and before long some of General 
Hunter's staff became impatient and induced that most impulsive of men to take 
the position that the blacks must be made to enlist by force. Accordingly squads 
of soldiers were sent to seize all the able-bodied negroes and bring them into 
the camp. The immediate consequence was a renewal of the old suspicion, 
ending in a widespread belief that they were to be sent to Cuba, as their masters 
had predicted. Up to the end of three months, however, the 'Hunter regiment' 
continued in camp and was then nominally disbande<l, as having been formed 
without authority. One company, however, under command of Sergeant Trow- 
bridge — then acting as captain, though not commissioned — had been sent 
August 5, 1862, to garrison St. Simon's island. The whites on the island were 
gradually driven from it, and no negro flinched. 

"Trowbridge and his company, however, remained two months on the island, 
his men being poorly clotlied, and witli no new supiily of uniforms. In October, 
1862, after General Saxton came from Washington with authority to organize 
colored troops, he made Trowbridge senior captain of the revived First South 
Carolina. He was thus constantly in command of colored troops, from May 9, 
1862 to February 9, 1866, having been such for nearly six months, before my 
arrival (November 23, 1862) and nearly a year before Colonel Shaw, whose 



384 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

commission was dated April 17, 1863. Had not Trowbriilge enlisted the 
'Hunter regiment' and brought one company of it through without showing 
cowardice or insubordination, it is very doubtful whether Butler or anyone else 
would have renewed the enterprise. 

"But for some want of early education on his part, Trowbridge would probably 
have commanded the regiment. As it was, he was of the greatest value, his 
strength and power of labor being inexhaustible and his loyalty to those placed 
above him unimpeachable. He had also two qualities especially valuable in 
dealing with colored troops, one of these being his stentorian voice both in com- 
manding and in singing, and peculiarly important in a camp where all soldiers 
were free to sing, and did so constantly. He had another inestimable quality, 
namely an immense deal of humor, so that he constantly kept his associate 
officers enlivened by anecdote and imitation. After I had left the regiment, two 
years later, on account of a wound, tJie way should have been opened to him to 
be cormnander, but a political colonel was put in, as was common in those days, 
one who was detailed for some civil service in Washington and hardly ever 
visited the regiment. Trowbridge and his command were gradually ordered on 
some more distant expeditions than they had known before, including some of 
great daring of which his written narrative will at some time, I hope, be printed. 
Trowbridge was a magnificent specimen of those men of moderate training and 
earl.v disadvantages out of whom the Civil War made heroes."

and Brooklyn, N. Y., to which city his parents removed when he was thirteen 
years of age. He later engaged in the coal and wood business there. He enlisted 
for three years as a soldier in the Civil War, being enrolled August 22, 1862, as 
a corporal in Company D, 139th New York Infantry, and being promoted 
S(;rgeant-niajor. He was badly wounded by a bursting shell in the battle of Cold 
Harbor, June 1, 1864. He was discharged at the expiration of his term of 
service. After his discharge from the army he received an appointment in the 
New York Custom Hou.se. He never entirel.v recovered from the wound he 
received in the army, and it undoubtedly hastened his death.

breaking out of the Civil War in 1S61, but as his base of operations was in the 
disputed territory he lost about all he had made. In the spring of 1861 he gave 
up his business and assisted in recruiting two companies of the 3d West Virginia 
Infantry for the Union army. He expected to be mustered into Company C, 
Imt shortly before the company was organizoil he, was taken ill with the measles, 
and when he recovered he was partially deaf, in consequence of which he could 
not be received into the regular volunteer service. 

In June, 1861, General Roseerans was in command, with headquarters at 
Clarksburg, W. Va., part of his command being at Weston, W. Va., and badly 
in need of supplies, for which the government did not have transportation. In 
this emergency Mr. Trowbridge collected a number of volunteer teams and 
furnished the necessary supplies. After this .nnd until e^rly in December he fur- 
nished sui>])lies in the same way to General Reynolds' command at and near 
Huttonsville, W. Va. About this time he was relieved by regular government 
transportation and he then went in charge of government transportation, with

Tampico. After tlie outbreak of the Civil War he tried to enlist in the army,

organize the Tampico company of "home guards," • which followed Morgan's 
guerilla raiders from Little York, Washington county, to the Ohio state line. 
This was the only time his company was called out, but he always held himself 
ready for any service that he might be called on to perform, and made himself 
useful by administering to the needs of those of his neighbors whose husbands 
and fathers were in the army. He died soon after the close of the war.

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 403 

younger brother was a cripple. The family were naturally musical, their father 
having made use of the Jirst oiiportunity to give his children a musical training, 
and they attended the singing schools of their day and became song leaders. 
They learned a system by which they taught singing and geography together, 
and Mr. Trowbridge and one brother continued these schools for many years, 
often teaching for nine hours each day for weeks in succession. During many 
of the summer seasons he would farm or work at the carpenter's trade. At one 
time he had planned to go to California in search of gold, but his mother's 
pleadings led him to change his purposes. 

In 1849, in company with his uncle Joel Skolton, ho made a trip to Illinois. 
This journey was taken in a wagon, and it was at this time that he first saw the 
great prairies of which he had heard. The next year they made another journey, 
at which time they each secured 160 acres of land in Bennington tovimship, 
Marshall county, and later in the year Mr. Skelton prevailed on him to join him 
when he moved to his new home. Mr. Trowbridge secured some new singing 
books and, after arriving at his journey's end, organized classes at several places 
and began teaching his system of music, and worked all day in the timber 
getting out lumber to improve their farms. In the spring of 1851 he returned 
to Indiana, by way of the river. He was married in June of that year, and in 
July he and his wife started for their new home in Illinois. The first winter was 
spent in teacliing and singing again. AVhile spending some time with his imcle 
near Salem church in the spring of 1852, his first child was bom. They soon 
returned to tlie farm which for thirty-five years was their home, no matter where 
they sojourned for a time. Their farm was a quarter section of prairie land, 
five miles west of where Rutland now stands. At that time there was not a 
house to be seen for several miles east of where they lived, and wolves, deer, wild 
geese and ducks were in abundance there. Now the old homestead, still owned 
by the family, has adjoining it a city of several thousand inhabitants. Wlien 
Bennington township was organized Mr. Trowbridge was chosen its first super- 
visor, and he was always interested in whatever conduced to the improvement 
of his community. 

Soon after settling on his farm he identified himself with Pattonsburg 
Christian church, and before long was chosen one of its elders. Elder George 
Taylor, then minister of this church, urged tJie young elder to employ his talents 
in prayer and exhortation in the public services. Acting on this advice, he soon 
gave evidence of being a useful man in the church. He occupied the pulpit 
whenever the regular minister was not present, growing into such favor that 
they chose him to minister to them regularly. In addition to his work at the 
church, he would have some place for afternoon preaching, and in this way he 
carried on an extensive missionary work. He was a constant student of the 
Word of God, and taking his Testament to the field he woiild search the Scrip- 
tures while resting his horses. No time was idled away. When he had a 
moment, while waiting for his meals or of an evening, lie had a book or paper 
and was reading. Thus he prepared himself for his Sunday preaching. 

The first ten years of his ministry were spent without remuneration, and he 
labored with his hands to support his family. He preached in barns, school- 
houses and dwellings — anywhere he could find an opening to sound the Gospel 
call. He preached the first sermon that was delivered in the village, now city, of 
Wenona, the meeting being held in the Illinois Central railroad depot. In 1850 
a cooperation was formed among the Christians of ^Marshall. LaSalle, Woodford 
and Livingston counties for the extension of Christ within their borders. 
Brother Trowbridge was chosen president of this association for seven consecutive 
years, and served several times later in the same office. This work took him 
away from home to visit among the people wherever work was to be done. 
Associated with him in this work were the three Houstons, Washington, John Q.

and Jefferson, William Thompson, U. H. Watson, Walter Boles, M. D. Sharpless, 
Festus Burg, Joseph Johnson, E. B. Nevell, D. Ledgerwood, John McCleary, 
George W. Minier and B. Carter. The churches in eouperation and organized 
by it were : Pattonsburg, Ancona, Osage. Pontiac, Long Point, Amity, Scattering 
Point, Diamond Creek (now Dana), Nebraska (now Flanagan), Minonk, Kut- 
land, Antioch (now Toluca), Washburn, Shaw's Point, Vania and Streator. 
Some of the churches have ceased to exist, but the larger number are still doing 
work for the Lord. 

These pioneers found many bitter prejudices against their work. The sectarian 
spirit was vei-y strong and many church doors were closed against them. The 
religious world did not know that these preachers of the Restoration came with 
a message of love and union for all of God's people. As the Savior and Apostles 
were not understood by the people to whom they ministered neither were these 
men. They had learned that the truth once planted would grow to a bountiful 
harvest in honest and loving hearts. They were content to labor and wait. 
Many of them lived to see the places where they labored so patiently occupied by 
flourishing churches and the prejudices allayed. The Antioch church was 
organized in a schoolliouse one mile north of the farm of llr. Trowbridge in 
1862, and it was from this church, at the suggestion of Jonas Ball, Sr., that he 
received his first pay for preaching. The mission at Rutland steadily grew into 
an active and strong churcli, and is now the leading Protestant body of wor- 
shipers. This church received very much of the attention of Brother Trow- 
bridge. In 1868 it was deemed best to remove to Rutland and take full pastoral 
care of the congregation. This work was continued until the winter of 1871-2, 
when he moved his family to Eiireka to give the children better school privileges. 
In the spring of 1872, the year that his son Thomas was graduated from Eureka 
College, he again returned to the farm. 

Wliile Brother Trowbridge was laboring with these churches, he traveled over 
a large scope of country, giving his attention often to three or four churches. 
There are very few churches within a radius of fifty miles of his home that have 
not enjoyed the blessing of his ministry. His first preaching in Minonk was 
done in the dining-room of Macey's hotel, then they went to the schoolliouse, 
continuing there until the congregation was able to build a house of worshiji. 
W^ith the assistance of Charles Roe, the Sharps, father and son. J. Carroll Shark 
and others ministering to this church, it grew to be an important factor in the 
city's forces. In 1879 he was again called to the ministry of this church, which 
service was continued until the spring of 1882, when he again returned to the 
farm. While at Minonk he and his family took the larger part of tlie burden of 
the church. The ministry, the music, the janitorship and management of the 
finances seemed to fall to their share. 

In the autumn of 1885 he again left the fami to reside in Rutland, where he 
continued to live the remainder of his days. The death of his wife the year 
following caused a great cloud to come over his life. She had been to him all 
that he could expect a wife to be. She had entered fully into all of his work 
and bore her share of the hardships of the pioneer preacher's life. On January 1, 
1887, to occupy his mind with some additional work, he began a sketch of his 
life and work, and continued it quite fully until he had reached the year 1895 of 
his pilgrimage, when illness caused him to relinquish the work for a season, 
ex]>ecting as soon as he recovered to finish it. He never comjilcted it. so we have 
but little account of the greater part of his public ministi-y. He kept no records 
of his work as a preacher, so we can only estimate the additions to the Lord's 
work in his service. Those who knew most of his life report many hundreds. 
Rev. Mr. Trowbridge was among the few ministers who are successful farmers 
or business men and enjoy a conipet«nce earned outside of the profession. He 
owned a large farm having good improvements and when not at work in the 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 4(l5 

ministry followed the plow or the reaper. He gave valuable assistance to the 
compiler of this genealogy by collecting the records of his brajich of the family. 
"Brother Trowbridge was a minister in all the hearts of the people. The 
Bible was his book of study and preaching. He contributed liberally to the 
support of the gospel, and returned to tlie church, its local and missionary enter- 
prises, more than he ever received for his ser^-ices. After bodily infirmities kept 
him from the active ministry, he still contributed largely to the support of the 
church. He educated his children so that they all took honorable places in the 
church and the activities of life. He was a man of great faith. He loved his 
brethren, and was a peacemaker in all his associations with men. He was a 
friend to the helpless, and tJae young preacher always found in him a true friend 
and wise counselor. He has left a monument more lasting than granite or 
marble in the affection and esteem of his brethren. He rests from labor, and his 
works will follow him."

teen years old his grandfather died, and after that he worked and managed for

marriage he settled on the old homestead of his grandfather Trowbridge in his 
native place. Palmyra, Ohio, where he was engaged in farming up to the time 
of the Civil War. He enlisted in the army at Cleveland in August, 1862, as a 
teamster, preferring to act in that capacity as the term of that service was 
shorter and he had a wife and two small children, as well as his mother, to 
support. He and his cousin Newell Collins were wagon-masters together and had 
charge of one hundred and thirty men. He followed General Buell into 
Kentucky, the soldiers and wagons making a train eighteen miles long. He 
arrived on the battle gTound at Perrjwille a day after the battle and never forgot 
the awful scene. He did not go farther south than Nashville, Tenn., as he 
became ill from exposure from sleeping on tlie ground in frosty weather, and 
Captain Warren gave him his discharge. He returned home in November, 1862. 
On his return from the army he was engaged in farming in Palmyra until June 
15, ISTO, when he removed with his family to Edinburg-, Ohio, where he resided 
the rest of his life. He and his family became members of the Disciples' church.

son) Peek, born June 7, 1821, in Newtown; died May 13, 1894, in Stamford. 

William H. Trowbridge received his early education in district and private 
schools in Stamford, Conn., to which town his parents moved. Even in childhood 
he developed a fondness for medicine. Teaching and studying alternately, he 
attended one course at Yale, two courses at the New York College of Physicians 
and Surgeons, and was graduated from the Yale Medical School in 1855 with the 
degree of M.D. After spending one year in the office of Dr. George Lewis in 
New York City he opened an office in Stamford, Conn., where, excepting during 
his army life, he enjoyed a thriving practice. 

In the Civil War Doctor Trowbridge was first engaged as surgeon of the 23d 
Connecticut Infantry, enlisting September 25, 1862. To this work he was 
impelled by a sense of duty, and left a lucrative and fast increasing practice solely 
to do good. His regiment proceeded to New Orleans with General Banks, and on 
arriving there Doctor Trowbridge sought the medical director of that department 
and told him that he came there for work, and if he was needed anj-where he 
would be on hand. As a result, during his stay in the department there was 
not a battle fought in which he was not called upon to give service. After 
the battle of La Fourche Crossing he was called, without assistance, to attend to 
more than two hundred wounded Confederate prisoners, whose injuries ranged 
from flesh wounds to broken skulls and shattered limbs. He commenced his 
work at four o'clock Sunday afternoon and worked incessantly, without sitting 
down to eat or sleeping, until Tuesday at midnight. The day after he was left 
in the enemy's hands with the wounded, but was kept by them in the same-place 
and service. This captivity lasted six weeks. Soon after he accompanied his 
regiment to Connecticut and with it was mustered out of service on the expira- 
tion of his term of enlistment on August 31, 1863, He was soon selected as sur- 
geon of the board of enrollment in the Fourth District of Connecticut and placed 
on duty at Bridgeport. He attended so well to the duties that he held that posi- 
tion until the close of the war, when he was again honorably discharged, and he 
returned to his home in Stamford. He resumed his professional practice, and 
from that time mi til his death was identified with the to\\'n, his practice and 
reputation for skill increasing yearly. 



453 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

Doctor Trowbridge's talents were those of solidity rather than brilliancy. He 
was not a boaster nor freely expressive of his knowledge, but was well posted in his 
profession and was always on good terms with his brethren. He especially 
excelled in surgery and obstetrics, his skill in both being from natural aptitude. 
His army experience had largely aided his skill as a surgeon, while that of 
obstetrics had grown upon him, througli the exceptionally large practice given 
him by his gentleness and kindliness of manner, aided by an untiring patience 
and a coolness that never flurried to hinder his success or make nervous his 
patient. In this department he stood at the head of his profession in his section 
and for many years he numbered more than one hundred obstetric cases yearly.*

Samuel H. Trowbridge was graduated from Wesleyan University,§ Middle- 
town, Conn., in 1867 with the degree of B.A. While there he was brought into 
close association with Dr. Jolm Johnson, the eminent professor of chemistry and 
physics, and this association determined the pursitits of his after life. During

uiatics in Drew Ladies' Seminary, Cannel, N. Y. From 1869 to 1873 he was 
employed in teaching- natural science in Pritchett Collegiate Institute, Glasgow, 
Mo. During this period he spent the summer of 1869 in study at Lawrence 
Scientific School, Plarvard University, imder Professor Agassiz, and in the 
sunmier of 1871 he went from there on a geological tour of the Atlantic states 
under the superintendence of Prof. N. Shaler. 

In 1873, at the urgent solicitation of his college chum. Rev. C. Mandeville. who 
had been elected to the presidency of Jennings Seminary, Aurora, 111., he resigned 
his position at Glasgow and accepted a similar one at Aurora. He also at that 
time was engaged in the geological survey of Missouri. The following year, 
1874-75, he spent at Harvard pursuing his studies in paleontology and ento- 
mology under the instruction of Professor Shaler, and was assistant in the 
geological laboratory of Harvard. At the close of that year he received a call 
from Pritchett Institute to return there, with a considerable increase of salary 
and enlarged facilities, and fill the chair of geology and paleontology which had 
recently been established and endowed. This position he continued to hold until 
the summer of 1883, when failing health compelled his resignation. 

At that time he supposed a change of occupation was the only thing necessary, 
and with a great deal of enthusiasm he worked more assiduously than ever, 
collecting and arranging specimens for his already large and valuable museum 
and entered into a wide correspondence with leading scientific men in this and 
other countries. His hope was to foxmd a museiun west of the Mississippi that 
should offer to the Central West the advantages that Harvard gave the East.* 
For a time the relief from school duties and the enthusiasm inspired by a more 
entire devotion to museum work promised the reeove-i'y of health and strength, 
but a severe cold, contracted in the early spring of 1885, developed very rapidly 
symptoms of lung disease and in June of that year the physicians ordered, as a 
last resort, a trip to the mountains of Colorado. But it was then too late. In 
November he came home to pass his last days and in the following March he 
breathed his last. 

During the twelve years of Professor Trowbridge's connection with Pritchett 
Institute the amount of work he accomplished was almost marvelous. He not 
only built up a fine mviseuni, varied and complete, luit he even caught and held 
the unswerving love and respect of his associates and pupils, and was the 
means of leading numbers of them into similar fields of study. His gentle, 
cheerful, simple demeanor won him friends everywhere. In the conxmimity he 
was always a stanch advocate for right and justice. He early espoused the 
temperance cause and joined the Prohibition party, for which he labored and 
fought as long as he lived. 

He was a regular attendant upon all the services of the Methodist church, of 
which he was also a member. His delight was in the study of God's revealed 
word, and his loved study of Nature was only exceeded by his love of Nature's 
God. Unselfishness was in him a trait of pecidiar strength, and in the family 
circle it was peculiarly manifest. As a Christian gentleman, he was a model to 
all; as an educator, his influence is still felt to-day in many states in the char- 
acter and influence of his pvipils ; as a scientist, the museums of Pritchett Institute, 
Glasgow, Mo., and of Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., bear abundant witness. 
But death came in the midst of his labors and cut sliort his earthly career at the 
age of forty-six. While bis career was comparatively short, his life was rounded 
out and complete.

pany, west of Dugger, Ind. Coal men say that the merger is to be an important 
one, will give the southern Indiana mines a better outlet, and will give 
Indianapolis a more certain supply. It is declared that the new combine also 
will reduce the price of coal in Indianapolis.

bounded with the narrow lane north; Samuel Hyde and a highway west; a

through the swamp." He resided there the remainder of his life, occupied 
with the care of his fann and his public duties. He was one of the early 
members of the Newton Congregational church, to which his first wife was 
dismissed from the church in Dorchester on September 11, 1664. She had been

father-in-law. Deacon John Jackson, in 1675,. he was chosen to succeed him as 
deacon of the church in Newton and he discharged the duties of that office until 
his death, a period of over forty years.

John Trowbridge when a young man came to Framingham, Ma8s.,§ and settled 
there after his marriage. lie was a housewright by trade, but in his later years 
was chiefly engaged in farming. About the time of his marriage, 1725, he took 
up 55 acres of land in the north part of the town, probably the Nathan Ilosmer 
place, now the Francis Hosmer place, his deed from Joseph Buckminister being 
dated February 3, 1726-7. In 1732 he exchanged with Samuel Bullen the 55 
acres for 50 acres and buildings, paying 50 pounds to boot, this lot adjoining the 
Ezekiel Howe farm. He bought the Joshua Eaton farm and the farm now 
owned by Nathaniel Bowditch in 1747. All these lands were a part of the 600 
acres of reserve land on Nobscot and Doeskin Hill, which is spoken of in the

Jonathan and Lucy (Bradstreet) Remington, born July 24, 1714, in Cambridge; 
died July 31, 1772, in Cambridge. 

Edmund Trowbridge after his father's death was placed under the guardian- 
ship of his uncle Col. Edmund Goffe, and was subsequently adopted by him and 
made his heir.§ He was graduated from Harvard College in 1728, and at once 
began the study of law, being soon admitted to the Massachusetts bar and becom- 
ing eminent in his profession. He was made attorney-general of the province 
in 1749, and continued in that office until he was, deservedly, raised to the post 
of associate-justice of the supreme court in 1767. He was elected a repre- 
sentative from Cambridge in 1750. In 1764 he was elected a member of the 
council. In the years immediately preceding the Revolution his Tory predilec- 
tions unfortunately led him to consort with Governors Bernard and Hutchinson 
and he became in time very unpopular with the people at large, though his kind- 
ness of disposition served to preserve most of his personal friendships. In 1772 
he resigned his seat upon the bench and retired to the little village of Byfiekl, 
where he long remained, residing for a time in the family of Rev. Moses Parsons 
and instructing Theophilus Parsons in the law. In 1779 he was chosen by the 
council to be judge of probate of Middlesex county, but did not accept. Judge 
Trowbridge was a Tory in heart and to some extent in speech, but he remained 
inactive during the contest. He did not abstain from the conflict through 
cowardice or physical unfitness, for he had a strong proclivity for war and 
combat, was a master of fence, and an excellent horseman; but was probably 
restrained by his friends Ellery and Dana. During half of his long life he was 
regarded the most profound lawyer in New England, and he died in Cambridge, 
at the ripe age of 84, leaving a high reputation for professional learning, to 
which Chief Justice Parsons and Chancellor Kent afterward bore willing testi- 
mony. He owned land in Woburn, Wilmington and Sutton, and was a large 
land owner in Cambridge and Cambridgeport, most of which passed into the 
hands of Chief Justice Dana, his nephew and law pupil, who was his residuary 
legatee. He owned land in Cambridge opposite the principal college gate and 
Trowbridge street was so named in his honor.

Boston," vol. 4, p. 580, have been of assistance In preparing this sketch.

"He had the finest law library then in the province, a rare and valuable 
possession in those days. lie had also another less harmless possession, being a 
full-length portrait of Governor Hutchinson, in a handsome frame, which he 
kept in his parlor, to the alarm of the family, who dreaded that it might induce 
a foray from the lawless Sons of Liberty. Accordingly, one day, when Trow- 
bridge was away from home, they cut out and burned the canvass, and put in 
its place a portrait, by Copley, of Justice Eichard Dana."* 

Tlie follo^^-ing incidental remarks in the sketch of the character of Chief 
Justice Parsons by his successor, Judge Parker, contain the best eulogium of 
tliis distinguished man: "I will not omit to mention, for I wish not to exag- 
gerate his powers, that he enjoyed one advantage, in his education, beyond any 
of his contemporaries, except the learned, able and upright Chief Justice Dana. 
I refer to the society and conversation of Judge Trowbridge, perhaps the most 
profound common lawyer of New England before the Revolution. This vener- 
able old man, like some of the ancient sages of the law in England, pursued 
his legal disquisitions long after he had ceased to be actively engaged in the 
profession, from an ardent attachment to the law as a science, and had employed 
himself in writing essays and forming elaborate readings upon abstruse and 
difficult points of law. Many of his works are now extiuit in manuscript, and 
some in print, and they abundantly prove the depth of his learning and the 
diligence and patience of his research." 

President Adams, in a sketch of the life of Jonatlian Sewall. has this inci- 
dental notice of Judge Trowbridge : "He commanded the practice in Middlesex, 
Worcester and several other counties, and he had power to crush, by his frown 
or his nod, any young lawyer in his county." Chancellor Kent represents him 
as "the oracle of the common law." Mr. Knapp remarks, that "Trowbridge had 
been distinguished not only as a profound lawyer and an able advocate, but as 
a zealous law officer of the government, but when he saw the people rise in 
hostility, his courage forsook him, and he fled from the confusion around him, 
and tried to shut his eyes to what was going on, or to keep the din of arms from 
disturbing his lucubrations, and that he, who had once instructed Parsons, and 
possessed a mind so discriminating and profound, could hardly, in the latter part 
of his life, comprehend his own legal decisions made in the strength of 
intellectual power."

of twenty, helping to clear up this land and make a home, receiving six months 
of his time in settlement. On coming of age he returned to Newton* and ju-o- 
hably was engaged with the care of the large farm left by his father, and 
probably settled there after his marriage, which took place in the fall of 1733. 
In the spring of the following year he removed with his wife to Pomfret and 
bought of Abiel Lyon a valuable farm of 100 acres in the western part of Pom- 
fret, bordering on the Mashomoquet river. He built a housef and other build- 
ings on his farm, and later a savrmill and a cider mill. His farm was included 
in the tract of land that became in 1749 the second society, or Abington, in 
Pomfret. 

On January 14, 1751, he was chosen one of a committee of five to build a 
meeting-house in the new society. He continued to be a progTessive citizen and 
active in town affairs. During the Eevolution he served on various patriotic 
committees, and in the fall of 1777 he and his sons John. James and Caleb were 
among the twenty-four residents of Pomfret who contributed about £70 "to 
chai-ter or purchase ... a vessel ... to send immediately to the 
West Indies for salt and other necessities." Although too far advanced in years 
to enlist himself in the war, two of his sons represented him in the patriot army. 
He lived to see his sons occupying farms around him and he left a numerous 
posterity.:):

was commissioned on May 1. 1779, lieutenant-colonel of the 5th Middlesex Regi- 
ment,! and went with it to Ehode Island at the "alarm" that year.:]: 

On March 13, 1780, the town voted, "that the nine militia officers be a com- 
mittee to hire men into the public service the present year." The convention 
"to prepare a constitution or form of government" met September 1, 1779, and 
on May 22, 1780, Colonel Trowbridge was appointed one of the "Committee of 
fifteen to examine the new constitution and report to the town at the next 
meeting."§ In the Rhode Island alarm of July 22, 1780, his regiment, he 
being second officer under Col. Abner Perry, was "ordered out on the 23, marched 
on the 27, was engaged on the 28, and wa-s discharged on August 7, after a 
service of fourteen days."|| This last service seems to have closed his military 
duties in the field. Colonel Trowbridge resided the remainder of his life in 
Framingham, where he enjoyed the friendship and respect of his fellow citizens.

final. He was a very sober and dignified man, who seldom smiled. Life was 
too serious for levity — to live rightly and well was his great endeavor. He was a 
most resolute man, and when he decided a thing was right or wrong nothing 
could change him. In his day tithing was still in force, and his neighbors, 
although detesting it, still paid their tithes. Not so John Trowbridge, who 
declared, 'the thing was wrong, the principle was wrong.' He was to be sent 
to prison for refusing to pay, and there he would have remained, had not his 
brother, without his knowledge and much to his disgust, paid his tithes. His 
grandchildren always spoke of him with great admiration and respect, as a true, 
noble man in every way."*

Timothy Bigelow,* Lieuts. J(jiifis Huljl.iard and John Smith. They left Worces- 
ter near sunset and going through Sln-ewshury, Northhorough, Marlborough, 
Sudbury, Weston, and Waltham, arrived at Watertown, a distance of more than 
forty miles, the next morning, after marching all night. Having ascertained tlio 
retreat of the British, the company halted for refreshments, and then advanced 
to Cambridge. He did duty under Captain Bigelow until April 34, when an 
organization of the forces took place, and Captain Bigelow having been appointed 
major, Jonas Hubbard was promoted to be captain and John Smith to be first 
lieutenant.f He then enlisted for eight montlis, or until the last day of Decem- 
ber or the first day of January following, as a soldier in Captain Hubbard's 
company, Col. Jonathan Ward's regiment of infantry, and was stationed in a 
house in Cambridge near the Charles river. He and Captain Hubbard's com- 
pany were among the first that broke ground for the military work called Fort 
No. 2, and he was employed in its construction. He did duty in this company 
until June 6, when, permission having been given for three from each company 
to enlist into the "train," as it was called, he enlisted on June 6,$ 1775, in Capt. 
Ezra Badlam's company of artilleiy. Col. Richard Gridley's regiment, in which 
he did duty as first conioral for two months. He was then promoted sergeant, 
and did duty as orderly until the term of service expired ,and the company was 
dismissed on January 1, 1776. He was stationed with the artillery just below 
the hill on which the meeting-house stood in Roxbury, and was there during the 
battle of Bunker Hill, with his company within range of the British cannon from 
Boston. He assisted General Knox in laying out the fortifications in Roxbury. 
Afterwards he was stationed in Brooklyn Fort until the termination of his 
service. The service above mentioned was all jjerformed as a volunteer in the 
state troops of Massachusetts. He sen-ed in tlie whole, eight months and twelve 
days, viz.: from April 19, 1775, to Jtme 6, 1775, as a private soldier; from June 
6, 1775, to August C, 1775, as corporal ; and from August G, 1775, to January 
1, 1776, as sergeant. Wliile acting as orderly of artillery, he received orders at 
headquarters with the adjutants of infantry.§ 

William Trowbridge soon after his marriage received by deed from his father 
the latter's homestead farm in the southwesterly part of Worcester, with one- 
half the dwelling house and barn. He afterwards bought additional land. 
Besides managing his large farm, he later built and conducted a cotton mill there 
for many years, his sons William and Elijah and son-in-law Mr. Chapin being 
associated with him in business. In 1798 he built himself a large, handsome 
mansion, which is still standing. He was somewhat prominent in town affairs. 
He was a school committee-man, constable, highway surveyor and collector, 
selectman, and also held several other town offices. In 1798 he was one of a 
committee having in charge the laying out of the new cemetery. He was 
collector of taxes in 1819. He was a member of the Second Congregational 
Church, of which he was chosen a deacon, and held that office for more than 
twenty years, until he resigned on account of age and infirm health. Four years 
prior to his death he deeded his property to his sons, and went with his wife 
to reside with their daugliter Mrs. Chapin, at whose home he died. He was a 
tall, large, dark-complexioned man, and was said to bear a striking resemblance 
to General Washington.

ISOij. In 1798 he was chosen one of a committee "to inspect and regulate the 
schools" and continued a member of it for several years. He was representative 
to the Massachusetts General Court for eleven years, 1809-13 and 1816-21. In 
1820 he was a delegate to the Massachusetts state convention. 

For twenty-five years he was town treasurer, halving been first elected to that 
office in 1799. Up to 1822 tlie town treasurer had not been required to furnish 
bonds, but in the spring of that year Captain Trowbridge proposed to the town 
tliat the treasurer should be required to furnish sureties, adding, that he would 
hold the office one more year, cheerfully give such bonds and thus establish a 
precedent; and tlie town so voted. His record as treasurer shows his integrity 
of character and the trust placed in his judgment by his fellow townsmen. He 
was also a director of the bank in Cambridge. He was one of the associates of 
the Eev. David Kellogg in the building of Framingham Academy, organized in 
the spring of 1792, of which he was a trustee for twenty years and to which he 
left by his will $500 as a fund in aid of Framingham boys preparing for college, 
the interest of which has since been applied agreeable to the directions of the 
donor. He was held in general esteem and confidence, and his death closed a life 
of usefulness. 

The Trowbridge tomb (see plate) is located in the old burying-ground, now 
known as Church Hill cemetery, in Framingham and was erected in 1810 by 
Capt. John Trowbridge (No. 1029) and Lieut. Joshua Trowbridge (No. 1030),

TIIOWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 529 

Luther Trowbridge continued in the service throughout the war. On January 
1, 1777, he was commissioned second lieutenant of the 9th Company, commanded 
by Lieut. Jonas Parl^er, Gth Middlesex County liegiment, Col. Ichabod Alden, 
Massachusetts militia, and joined Washington's army on the Hudson. This 
regiment became the 7th in the Massachusetts Line. He was in the army of 
General Gates at the defeat and surrender of General Burgoyne. His marriage 
occurred early in the spring of 1778, and after that event he rejoined his regi- 
ment, which was stationed at Fort Herkimer and later at Cherry Valley. 
Colonel Alden was in command at the latter place and was killed in the assault 
on it by the Lidians and Tories under Butler and Brant on .September 10, 1778. 

Lieut. -col. John Brooks was placed in command of the regiment and Lieutenant 
Trowbridge continued to serve under him until the close of the war.* He was 
promoted July 5, 1779, and conunissioned first lieutenant September 29, 1779, and 
served with General Sullivan in his expeditions against the Indians in Western 
New York after the massacre of Wyoming. He was with his regiment through- 
out the year 1780, during the last four months of which he was adjutant on 
Colonel Brooks' staff. The regiment was at Camp Totoway in October and 
November and Camp Hutts in December, and went into winter quarters at New 
Windsor, General Washington's headquarters. During the year 1781 he was on 
command at West Point. He was stationed at Peokskill from July to September. 

"Wliile Lieutenant Trowbridge was at West Point, his wife, then a youtliful 
matron, paid him a visit, while General Washington was at his headquarters at 
Newburgh, and she recalled in later years the pleasant manner in which that 
distinguished soldier served his table with his battered camp equipage, polished 
until, he claimed, it might pass for silver." The regiment went into winter 
quarters at York JIutts in December. On February 5, 1782, Lieutenant Trow- 
bridge received a furlough permitting him a visit of several weeks at his home 
in Albany. He then returned to his regiment and was stationed at West Point 
until midsummer. He was in the action at Croton river on October 17, 1782. 
He was commissioned quartermaster of the 1st Massachusetts Brigade on 
November 12, 1782. He fulfilled his duties at the camp at New Windsor until 
the sununer of 1783, when he was furloughed. On October 10, 1783, he was 
commissioned captain by brevet in the TI. S. army. 

At the close of the war Captain Trowbridge settled in Albany, like all Conti- 
nental soldiers, poor in purse but rich in the satisfaction of having done their 
part in the great struggle for independence. Here he was engaged in various 
enterprises and was interested in some land purchases. He held various offices 
by appointment of the governor and council, and numbered among his personal 
friends many of the public men of the time ; among whom may be mentioned : 
Mr. Van Rensselaer — the patroon — for whom his son Stephen was named, 
Elkanah Watson, Abraham Van Vecten and Chancellor Kent. The latter, in 
after years meeting with Mr. C. C. Trowbridge, referred with much pleasure, 
ajiparently, to his friendship with the latter's father and entertained him with 
stories of hunting expeditions on Patroon creek, where Captain Trowbridge won 
some reputation with a little gun, carved in the stock in the shape of a dog's 
head, which had been presented to him by a French officer during some one of his 
campaigns. This gxni is still in the possession of his family. For some time 
previous to his death Captain Trovpbridge was clerk of the Board of Onondaga 
Commissioners, appointed to settle the disputed claims to land in the military 
tract of the state of New York.

Joseph Trowbridge appears not to have remained on his father's farm in New 
Hampshire and was working on a farm in Marlborough, Mass., at the time of 
his marriage. So young was he at that time, that it was deemed necessary, for 
him to have a guardian, and he chose John Stow of ilarlborough.t He con- 
tinued farming thus until he came of age, when he bought a farm on which 
he lived until his death. He was loiown as "Lieutenant" and was styled 
"gentleman" at the settlement of his estate.

1035. WiLLARD Trowbridge (James^''^^ Daniel""'\ James'0'>\ James'"'"', 
Thomas'^), born September 15, 1767, in Pomf ret, Conn. ; died December 7, 1837, 
in Delta, Ohio ; married* January — , 1791, in Ashford, Conn., Mehitable Sum- 
ner, daughter of Capt. Jolm and Mehitable (Perry) Sumner, bom April 29, 1769, 
in Ashford; died September — , 1838, in Delta. 

Willard Trowbridge settled after his marriage near his father-in-law in Ash- 
ford, Conn., the town adjoining his native place, and engaged in farming. In 
1802 he removed with his family to Edinburgh, Saratoga county, N. Y., where 
his father-in-law. Captain Sumner, had bought seven farms, one for each of his 
children, soon after the organization of that town in 1801. His house, built 
about 1802, stands on the west side of tlie highway, two and a half miles south 
of Edinburgh and about the same distance north of Northampton post ofEce.f 

In the summer of 1837, with his wife, two youngest sons and youngest daugh- 
ter, he followed his two oldest sons to Ohio. The latter had settled about three 
years previously in the wilderness of the valley of the Maumee, in what is now 
Delta, York township, Fulton county, where they had taken up a large tract 
of land. Their father took up 80 acres of woodland with a log house on it and 
about three acres of it ''girdled." The crevices between the logs of the house 
were "chinked," the floor was made of slabs, and a few logs cut from one end 
formed a fireplace. He had accomplished but little in clearing his farm before 
he was killed by a falling tree. The tree he had felled lodged in another and, 
in extricating the tangle, it is supposed, a sapling whijiped around and struck 
him on the temple, killing him instantly. He was found, sitting up at the foot 
of a tree, dead, with no other mark upon him. 

Willard Trowbridge imited with the Northampton and Edinburgh Presbyterian 
church about 1812 and continued one of its members until 1832, when he joined 
the Edinburgh Methodist Episcopal church, continuing in that connection until 
his removal to Ohio, where he was a member of the church of the same 
denomination.

town, N. Y. ; married September 16, 1805, in Lanesborough, Mass., Glorianna 

Havens Billings, daughter of Andrew and Glorianna ( ) Billings, who 

died June 27, 1849, in Watertown. 

Amasa Trowbridge obtained his early education at the country schools in 
the intervals of active labor on his father's farm in Pomfret, Conn. After the 
age of fourteen he availed himself of the suixjrior advantag'es of some of 
the academies in tlie vicinity, where he made those attainments in the. various 
branches of study which fitted him for the duties of a professional life. At the 
age of seventeen he commenced a course of study with Dr. Avery Downer of 
Preston, New London county, and three years later he was admitted to practice 
and received a diploma from the Connecticut Medical Society. He returned to 
his native town, where he silent one year with Dr. Thomas Hubbard, and then 
removed to Lanesborough, Berkshire county, Mass. He there associated himself 
with Doctor Jan'is and began practice in a large field of professional experience. 
He was a young man and almost an entire stranger to the community, in 
which he found able competitors, yet he was completely successful in gaining for 
himself high social standing and a good reputation in his practice. 

Soon after his marriage Doctor Trowbridge removed with his wife to Trenton, 
Oneida county, N. Y., where he practiced two years in company with Dr. Luther 
Guiteau. A large field of usefulness opened to him in the country about Trenton 
and he had opportunity for a wider practice of surgeiy than he had enjoyed 
before, so that he began to take rank in that branch of his profession in which 
he partieidarly desired a good degree of eminence. Opjiortunities were con- 
stantly presenting themselves for adding to his experience in new and difficult 
operations in various localities in a wide range of country, stretching off towards 
Lewis and Oswego counties, so that when he fell in with the tide of immigration 
that was flowing into this "Black Eiver Country" his reputation had in a 
measure preceded him. In 1809 he removed with his family to Watertown, 
Jefferson county, which he made his penuanent residence, and where he entered 
at once upon a large medical and surgical practice in company with Dr. Paul 
Hutchinson, a talented physician, also from Oneida county. 

Doctor Trowbridge was a Eepiililican in politics, took part in the great politi- 
cal questions of the day and became conspicuous in the ranks of his party. It 
was a time of great political strife between the Republican partisans of the 
government and the Federal party, when the war measures and the embargo and 
non-intercourse acts of the dominant party were assailed. The doctor was an 
easy and agreeable writer, and was the author of a series of political essays, 
designed to sustain the administration, which were widely published and served 
to identify the author strongly with his party. 

At the breaking out of the War of 1S12 Doctor Trowbridge volunteered for 
duty and on June 29, 1812, Gen. Jacob Brown appointed him surgeon of the 
forces he was collecting on the St. Lawrence, and ordered him to organize 
hospital quarters at Cape Vincent and Sackett's Harbor. Doctor Trowbridge 
rendered important service at those places, and on October 10, 1812, Governor 
Tompkins confirmed his assignment and brevetted him surgeon of militia. 
From then until the close of the war he was so identified with the movements of 
our troops on the frontier, that his histoiy involves the historj' of the war itself, 



536 TROWBKIDGE GENEALOGY 

as far as the Northern Division of the American anny was concerned. He had 
his quarters principally at Sackett'.s Harbor during the winter of 1812-13, and 
was very busy treating a large number of cases of the "epidemic" which pre- 
vailed tliroughout the country. In Ajiril, 1813, he was on board the brig Oneida 
in the expedition which sailed on the 25th against Little York (Toronto), and 
attended principally among the enemy and citizens, many of whom were wounded 
by the explosion of the powder magazine. He returned with the fleet to Sackett's 
Harbor and resumed his duties at that place, continuing there throughout the 
battle of May 29. On August 28 he received an appointment (to date from 
August 1) as surgeon of the U. S. army and was ordered to report to Colonel 
Ripley of the 21st Regiment Infantry. 

The doctor entered with zeal upon his new and enlarged sphere of duties. He 
pitched the first hospital tents used on this frontier and removed the 200 sick to 
them, where under sanitary arrangements they in due time were fitted to again 
take their places in the ranks. He served with Ripley's regiment in General 
Wilkinson's unfortunate exiiedition down the St. Lawrence and continued with 
it until its arrival at French Mills. Here the doctor remained with the army, 
constantly engaged in efforts to help the conditions of the soldiers, surrounded 
by a wilderness, and where the sick and wounded were without suitable clothing 
or medicine. On January 20, 1814, he was ordered to Sackett's Harbor to pre- 
pare quarters for the 200 sick of that imfortunate little army. 

Doctor Trowbridge continued in the service and marched with his regiment 
to Buffalo in the spring of 1814. He was in the batttle of Chippeway on July 5 
and at Lundy's Lane on the 25tli, and performed most arduous duties in caring 
for the wounded after those engagements. lie was with Colonel Bissell in the 
ascent of the Chippeway, and then was engaged with his hospital duties at 
Sackett's Harbor until the close of the war. He had performed his duties in the 
army with honor and distinction and was offered a commission in the new 
arangement of our forces, but declined, preferring to return to his private prac- 
tice. He was welcomed back, of course, by his former friends and patrons, and 
was soon engaged in extensive counti-y practice, with a professional reputation 
second to few practitioners in the state. 

Immediately on his return to private practice he was appointed one of the 
assistant justices on the bench of Jefferson county, and in 1818 he was appointed 
a judge. The duties of these several positions he performed with credit. In 
1819 he was appointed sheriff of the county, and discharged the duties of that 
office for two years. In the meantime he continued his medical and surgical 
practice in a very large district of country. He s]>ent the winter of 1822 in 
Philadelphia, forming the acquaintance of distinguished physicians of that city 
and in observing hospital practice there. In 1834 he received the appointment 
of professor of surgery and medical jui'isprudenee in Willoughby University in 
Ohio. This gave new scope for his faculties in preparing a course of lectures 
running through eight weeks of each year. He kept his residence in Watertown, 
however, until 1838, when he gave up his practice to his son Amasa* and removed 
his family to Painesville, Ohio, ten miles from the medical college. At that 
place he entered with ardor upon the acquisition of a new and enlarged sjahere 
of practice, having Painesville and the college as the base and the Western 
Reserve as the field of his newly acquired practice. The death of his aforesaid 
talented son in June, 1841, caused him to abandon liis Western field, and he 
returned to his practice in Watertown, in which he continued until his death. 

Doctor Trowbridge was an inventor in the line of his profession and was not 
confined to the books. He was conceded to be one of the most successful 
operators in his profession. Cases of extraordinary delicacy and difficulty

marked liis extensive practice, and were attended with a success seldom attained 
in surgical operations. He was favorably known not only throughout the state 
and nation but in Europe, and many of his operations were chronicled wherever 
surgical journals are printed. He is said, during his long life, to have ampu- 
tated the leg at the thigh nearly one hundred times. It is also said that he 
performed the first successful operation of cutting open the windpipe of a child 
to save its life in all tlie known history of surgery. 

Doctor Trowbridge was one of the pioneers of Masonry in Jefferson, county 
and a founder of the first Masonic lodge ever formed in Watertown, and was one 
of the first oifieers of Watertown Chapter, No. 59, Royal Arch Masons. He 
continued active in Masonic circles until his death. The accompanying portrait 
is from an oil painting presented by the medical students of Willoughby 
University. 

Doctor Trowbridge's letters describing important naval engagements excited 
nuich interest in his native town. In May, 1S14, he wrote to Mr. John Trow- 
bridge of Pomfret: 

"I should not trouble you with a letter, was it not for the purpose of transmitting 
inform.ition which must be pleasing to every person who will be pleased with the success 
of the American arms over our enemies. A secret expedition was fitted out at Sackett's 
Harbor, under command of Commodore Chancey, Generals Dearborn and Pike. The fleet 
consisted of a ship of 2G guns, 32 s ; a brig of 24 guns, 24 s ; eleven schooners, varying 
from four to eight guns each, maimed by 2(K) marines and TOO sailors : 2,370 troops, 
consisting of infantry and artillery, embarked on board of this fleet on the morning of 
April 2."i, at Sackett's Harbor, and the fleet immediately put to sea. I embarked at the 
same time as surgeon on board the brig Oneida. I soon perceived that the place of our 
destination was Little York, about 300 miles up the Lake, the seat of government in the 
upper provinces of Canada. Winds proved favorable and we arrived before that city 
about 6 A. M. on the 27th. The fleet came to anchor about two miles from the town, and 
within half a mile of the shore, at a very favorable spot for debarking the troops. We 
unmanned in a few minutes, and 300 riflemen, commanded by JIajor Forsyth, reached 
the shore. They were met with 300 British Regulars and 1.50 Indians. A severe contest 
ensued. Other troops soon landed, which, together with the guns of the schooners which 
commenced cannonading, obliged the enemy to retreat. Our troops then all landed and 
formed in battle array, and commenced their march against the forts near the town. Our 
vessels hauled up at the same time within .300 yards of three batteries and a strong 
fort ; a general cannonading commenced and was carried on with spirit on both sides 
for one hour. At this moment one of the enemy's strongest batteries blew up, and 40 of 
their men were seen flying in the air, accompanied by three cheers from our brave 
Yankees ; about the same time our troops came to the charge with the enemy in line, and 
obliged them to retreat to the block-house and fort. The well-directed fire from our 
vessels soon obliged them to leave their strongholds, and our troops were advancing upon 
them when their matio-inc blew up, containing, as hij thrir own statement, 500 barrels 
of powder. I cnnnot describe to you the sublimity of the scene! It seemed that the 
heavens and earth were coming together. The magazine was placed deep in the earth 
and surmounted by an immense body of stone, prohahlij fur the purpose of injuring an 
enemy hi ease it should be necessary to explode it. Our troops were within 200 yards 
when the explosion took place, and were levele<l with the ground in a moment, and 
covered with stones. About 40 were killed and 200 wounded. General Pike and several 
other officers fatally. The enemy did not escape the destruction of their own works; 
hundreds were killed and wounded. Our men soon recovered and marched on, took 
some prisoners, and the town soon capitulated on condition that private property should 
be respected. They had set fire to a new ship, carrying 30 guns, aud to the store-house, 
containing £520,000 of public property. Gen. Schaffe, their commander, made his 
escape with about 300 Regulars and the principal part of the Indians. We took two 
schooners and about one million of public stores and property, "28 pieces of cannon. We 
continued in the city four days. The people were polite and treated us very well. 
We have many real friends among them. We left the place Jlay 2. and proceeded to oiu- 
fort at Niagara, opposite to Fort George, and there landed our troops and wounded." 

Another letter, written a few months later, gave details of further action : 

"The battle at the Falls, our retreat to Fort Erie, the desperate attack and shocking 
slaughter of the enemy in their attempt to storm this place, and the tremendous fight 
at the batteries on the 17th inst., you have undoubtedly seen official accounts of. In 
these actions the .American arms have been triiuuphaut, aud our haughty foe completely 



538 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

humbled. More real courage and heroism could Dot be displayed than was shown by 
the troops on these occasions. I never expected to witness such scenes, but it was my 
fortune to be called to the head of the surgical department in this branch of the army, 
and I have the proud satisfaction to believe that I have met with the approbation of the 
whole army in conducting the surgical department. I feel a peculiar pride in being 
placed in a situation where I can exercise the medical and surgical talents which I have 
labored for a number of years to acquii'e. . . . The battle at Chippewa, at the Falls, 
at Fort Erie, and the siege of that place vi'hich lasted 57 days, furnished a large number 
of the most important cases in surgery. General Gaines mentioned my name in his 
official account of the action at the Fort. Here were 400 wounded, principally of the 
enemy, in the most shocking manner. I was constantly at my amputating and dressing 
for 36 hours. Our force here is respectable, and we shall in a few days attempt to 
drive the exiemy from this part of Canada. I have no doubt but that we shall do it, 
if Chauncey keeps the ascendancy on Lake Ontario.

Leworthy, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Whiting) Leworthy, bom Februarj- 
16, 1807, in New York City; died November 11, 1876, in Newark, N. Y. 

Artemas Trowbridge was reared on his father's ancestral farm in the parish 
of Abington in the town of Pomfret, Conn. He received the elements of a good 
English education and fitted himself for his first independent occupation, that 
of a school-teacher. At the age of twenty he commenced teaching in Vermont. 
He continued in this vocation until 1816, when he removed to Litchfield, Conn., 
associating himself with Mr. Webb of Windham, Conn., in mercantile business. 
In 1824 he removed to Camden, Oneida county, N. Y., being one of the pioneers 
in general mercantile business of that place. He remained in trade until 1850. 
He removed in 1864 to Newark, Wayne county, N. Y., and after the death of his 
wife went to the home of liis son in Palmyra, N. Y., where he passed his declining 
yeare. 

He was an active, energetic, influential citizen, and largely identified with the 
early improvements and progress of Camden. He was active in establishing a 
good school and securing competent teachers for it. He held many offices of 
importance and trust. He was chosen the first clerk of the village at its incorpo- 
ration in 1834, being later one of its trustees and its president. He was later 
appointed commissioner of loans for Oneida county, and was often appealed to 
by those seeking advice in financial matters who loiew liis judgment and integrity 
could be relied upon. He was prominently identified with the establishment of 
Trinity Church, Camden, and it was through liis efforts and, in a great measure, 
his generosity that the church edifice was built in 1844. He was its senior 
wai'den from the organization of the jsarish until his removal from the village. 

Mr. Trowbridge was, initiated into Masoni-y in Bridport, Vt, in. March, 1813, 
and was shortly afterwards advanced to the Royal Arch. He filled various offices 
in lodge and chapter with credit. At different times he was honored with the 
appointment of deputy-grand master of his district. At the time of his death 
he was an honorary member of Palmyra Lodge, No. 248, and was the oldest 
Mason of the lodge where he was initiated.

Dorothy Chapin, daughter of Thaddeus and Lucy (Whitney) Chapin, bom 
November 4, 1789, in Worcester; died January 1, 1844, in Sheboygan Falls. 

William Trowbridge after acquiring an excellent common school education 
began work at blacksmithing and whitesmithing. Soon after completing his 
trade, in company with his fatlier, youngest brother and brother-in-law Mr. 
Chapin, he engaged in cotton spinning, their factory being on the homestead in 
Trowbridgeville near Worcester, Mass. He held several minor town offices, 
among which may be mentioned those of school-visitor and highway surveyor. 
In 1830 he removed to Tompkins county, N. Y., where he established and con- 
ducted a cutlerj' factory for several years. In 1837 he emigrated with his family 
to Wisconsin. The first winter was spent with his son-in-law Charles D. Cole, 
one of the first settlers of Sheboygan, and the same winter Mr. Trowbridge 
opened a blacksmith shop, the family having in the meantime found a home in 
a blockhouse near the present site of the Trowbridge farmhouse. There was not 
a settler then between their home and the Falls, and none west of there. 
Plymouth was not known and there were not more than fifteen habitations in 
Sheboygan, while timber and heavy brash covered almost the entire site of the 
jiresent city. There were no roads and only Indian trails. Sheboygan Falls 
had only about five residences besides the old sawmill and many Indians were 
about. In 1836 the present site of 240 acres of the Trowbridge farm was pur- 
chased at $1.25 per acre near the present village of Sheboygan Falls. This farm 
was two miles west of the village on the Fond du Lac road. There he continued 
to reside until his death, living a life that in its intrinsic faithfulness, simplicity 
and activity in all good works was a model to all with whom he came in contact. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a member of the Baptist Church and served as one of its 
deacons for over forty years. In the early days there were no churches or school- 
houses and religious services were held in a small office, 16x20 feet, belonging to 
David Giddings at the Falls. He was the pioneer preacher of Sheboygan county 
and for many years, before the rog\jlar ministers were sent there, frequently 
served the hardy settlers in that sacred capacity. He was sent for from far and 
near to preach funeral sermons, his trips often being made on horseback or on 
foot. It is said that he preached two hundred and fifty funeiral sei-mons. He 
was also an honored member of the Masonic fratemify, and at the time of his 
death was probably the oldest Mason in Wisconsin. He wa-S quite vigorous both 
in mind and body until the close of his long life, and died universally respected 
for his purity of character and his interest in the welfare of all mankind. 

"There was no sham about Deacon Trowbridge's piety. He was sincerity itself. 
Fifty years ago last winter the little village was visited by a smallpox epidemic. The 
first Sunday after the dreaded disease made its appearance, the deacon's congregation 
was quite large. At the end of the services he made an announcement in about these 
words: 'Th?se services will be postponed until after the smallpox disappears from the 
community. From this on I shall give my services to the strickeu families. I shall 
minister to their wants, help nui-se them, and when they die follow them to the grave. 
It may be a long term, or it may be a short term ; but, however long or however short, 

• Mr. Charles W. Trowbridge (No. ii, above) wrote, "I feel certain that the house I was 
born in was on the north side of tbe lino, in I'ainosville, Ohio, and that my sister was born 
in Concord. Ohio, the adjoining township." 



542 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

it is my plain duty to lielp my distressed noiKlibors.' Tlie word was well suited to the 
action wliich followed. The good old deacon hurried to his home, changed his clothes, 
bade his family good-bye, and at once began his work of mercy. The epidemic lasted 
nearly all winter ; large numbers died ; few in the village escaped the disease. The 
deacon's example was followed by othei-s. The strangest of all this strange experience 
is the fact that neither the deacon, the good souls who imitated his example or their 
families, were overtaken by the malady, notwithstanding the fact that the watchers, 
helpers and nurses were almost constantly in the presence of the suffering patients, 
notwithstanding the fact that they laid out and helped to bury the dead. 

"Nearly half of the deacon's congregation had disappeared when, the next spring, 
he resumed services in the schoolhouse. It was a sorrowful Sunday. Those in the 
audience who had not lost members of their family had lost neighbors and dear friends. 
When the good old Christian had read a chapter, prayed and talked a practical sermon, 
he referre<l feelingly to the scenes through which the community had passed. I think 
every man, woman and child in the room, including the deacon, wept. At the close of 
the talk he asked all present to join him on their knees in asking that the community 
might escape such visitations for all time to come. It was a most earnest appeal. I 
believe that that prayer has been answered. There may have been a few cases of small- 
pox there since then, but there has never been an epidemic. 

"The Sunday after Sumter was fired upon, and while Deacon Trowbridge was con- 
ducting services in the Baptist church, the denomination to wdiich he belonged for over 
eighty years, he and his congregation were disturbed by a great commotion in the street 
right in front of the church. There was beating of drums and .sounds of fife, much out 
of tune. It was so uncommon a thing that most of the congregation walked or ran out 
of the church. Finally, the deacon closed the Bible and slowly followed his flock. 
When outside he asked the cause of 'this unseemly disturbance on the Lord's day.' 
Someone told him that the President had called for soldiers to uphold the honor and 
the flag of the nation, and that they were going to raise a company right then and there. 

"The old deacon's eyes flashed as he walked out into the street, where a young fellow 
was irregularly pounding a bass drum, and said: 'Nathan, I know it is Sunday, and 
that all but the Lord's work should be abandoned : but the saving of our country and 
the shielding of its flag from dishonor is the Lord's work. Give me that drum.' And 
that model of piety strapped on the big drum and went pounding, greatly out-doing 
Nathan in two respects — he made more noise and kept perfect time. He drummed as no 
one before had ever drummed in the little village. As if it had gone on lightning wings, 
word flew through the community that Deacon Trowbridge had left his pulpit to beat a 
drum, and on Sunday, too. Within half an hour nearly every one in town and many 
from the outskirts had gathere<l around the old drummer, all cheering him, and on 
Sunday, too. That night Nathan Cole,* who had been relieved as drummer by the 
deacon, went to Sheboygan witli enough men to make up what became Company C of 
the Fourth Wisconsin." [J. A. Watrous in Chicago Timps-Herald.]

Portland, Me. ; married June 13,t 1822, in Boston. Mass., Margaret Stimpson, 
daughter of William and Catharine (Rappalyc) Stimpson, born November 4, 
1799. in Charlestowm, Mass.; died August 10, 1885, in Portland. 

Elisha Trowbridge settled soon after his marriage in Portland, Me., where he 
established himself in the chandlei-y business. His eldest son in due time became 
associated with him and they had an extensive trade, shipping their candles to 
all parts of the United States and abroad. After the former's death Mr. Trow- 
bridge sold his factory and retired from active business life. He continued to 
reside in Portland, however, until his death about ten years later. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a very superior man and was a prominent and highly 
respected citizen of Portland for more than fifty years. He went there a young 
man, and from that time took an active part in the affairs of the city. He held 
many offices of imblic trust and was a member of the Maine legislature for many 
years. He was several times nominated for mayor of Portland, but always 
declined that honor, as one exacting too much time for the interest of his busi- 
ness. He was also an active and influential member of the old Third Congre- 
gational Church, with which he had united soon after his arrival in Portland.

Josiah Trowbridge* remained on his father's fann until the age of fifteen, 
when, farm work proving too laborious, he took a position as clerk with his 
elder brother John, who was engaged in mercantile business in Cambridgeport, 
near Boston, Mass. Tiring of this, and desiring to see more of the world, he 
shipped for Holland in 1800 and, after a most tempestuous return voyage, the 
vessel reached Charleston, S. C, in a disabled condition. He returned to his 
home and undertook a course of preparatory studies, with a view to the adoption 
of the medical profession. Commencing liis readings with Doctor Willard of 
Uxbridge, he finished them with Doctor Kittredge of Framingham. ^ During this 
time he taught school two winters, one in Southboro, and the nest in his native 
town. He used to relate in an amusing way his experience as school-teacher, 
involving the manner in which he quelled— what was then quite common — 
rebellion against the teacher. 

After the usual course of study, he was licensed to practice. This was in 1808 
or 1809. His first professional efforts were put forth in Wethersfield, Vt., where 
he remained for a brief time. In company with a young lawyer, an intimate 
friend, by the name of Walker, in the spring of 1811 he came to Buffalo, N. Y., 



• A sketch of his life was prepared by his son Dr. John S. Trowbridge and published 
by request of the Erie County (N. Y.) Medical Society in 18G9, from which the following 
sketch has been extracted.

him in his location, their partnership being dissolved at its close. His next 
business connection was with a most estimable man and physician, Dr. John E. 
]\rarsl)all, the co-partnership being formed September 8, 1823, under the name 
of Marshall & Trowbridge. In 1829 the fii-m was dissolved, in consequence of the 
ill health of Doctor Marshall, he retiring from practice, when the co-partnership 
of Trowbridge & Sprague was formed on October IC, 18.30. Doctor Marshall 
renewed practice, and the firm of Trowbridge & Iilarshall was established, and 
continued until December 2, 1831. In 1833 the honorary degree of Doctor of 
Medicine was conferred upon him by the regents of New York University. 
Doctor Trowbridge was also associated with Doctors Bela H. Colgrove, Thomas 
B. Clark and Alden S. Sprague, and at a much later period with Dr. Charles 
Winnc. All these gentlemen obtained eminence in their profession and chal- 
lenged respect as citizens. A letter from Doctor Colgrove to Dr. John S. Trow- 
bridge after his father's decease shows the estimate in which he was lield by one 
who had been an associate in practice. "Among the departed, I remember no one 
in whose character was blended high professional attainments, with a nice 
appreciation and practice of those courtesies and amenities, personal and pro- 
fessional, which made the green oasis in human life, more than your father. 
While you, my dear Doctor, with a filial affection, in the highest degree com- 
mendable, are weaving a desei-ved garland for the brow of your late father, permit 
me to add my humble chaplet to the wreath; which, though the product of an 
obscure mountain town, is no exotic; and while the younger members of our 
profession are seeking models to emulate and imitate, sure I am, they will seek 
in vain for a better than the late Josiah Trowbridge." 

During the War of 1812 Doctor Trowbridge gave the government his hearty 
support, although, in common with a large political party, not recognizing its 
absolute necessity. He was not in the regular service, but was attached to^ a 
volunteer company of artillery, and was always ready to respond when humanity 
or the interests of his country made a demand upon him. After the close of the 
war he received a grant of land, for his sei-vices, in the state of Indiana. He 
was fond of the gun, and on one occasion, in company with Frederick B. Merril, 
Lieutenant Dudley, of Perry's fleet, and one or two more boatmen, while shooting 
ducks on Strawberry island, was sui-prised and captured by the British, and taken 
to Fort George. While there, the Indians in the service of the government broke 
into their quarters, and for a time their safety seemed quite precarious. The 
intervention of officers and chiefs prevented a massacre. The doctor, with his 
comrades, was detained a few days, and then discharged, arriving in Buffalo after 
a most tedious journey on foot. During the war he, with most of the early 
settlers, had many adventures. At the burning of the village of Buffalo, which 
was a surprise, although it had been threatened, he. with others, remained 
engaged in securing the safety of the women and children, and was among the 
last to leave. As he passed up Main street he was fired upon by the Indians 
ambushed in the vicinity. With other refugees he spent the winter and part of 
the spring at various localities east of Buffalo. 

Doctor Trowbridge was absent one winter in Washington on private business 
and business connected with the interests of the village. He continued to prac- 
tice his profession until 1830, when he had accumulated a handsome property. 
He tlien sold his office property to Doctor Wimie, and gave his time to the man- 
agement of his private affairs— attending to the improvement of his property.

erecting the United States Hotel, and otliei- buildings, and loaning his money 
among supposed friends. In 1837, when all wont by the board, he was, unfor- 
tunately, included among them, losing his all. He made an assignment, and was 
left penniless. This year he was elected mayor of Buffalo. The Patriot War 
occurring shortly after he was installed, law and order being put at defiance, and 
he being unable to maintain the supremacy of the former, resigned. During the 
years detailed in the foregoing account Doctor Trowbridge held many minor 
places of usefulness. He was for a time judge of the court of common pleas. 
Several times he was supervisor, was associated with Major John G. Camp, as 
commissioners, for finishing the building now known as "The Old Court House." 
He was president of the high school, aftei-wards kno\vn as The Buffalo Military 
Scientific and Literary Academy. He was secretary of the meeting held at the 
house of Elias Ransom for the purpose of organizing the Episcopal Society of 
Saint Paul's Church, February 10, 1817, He was one of its first vestrymen, held 
the position for eleven years, and was warden for six. The original church 
edifice was enlarged in 1828, under a contract entered into by him, at an expense 
of $2,500, he depending upon the increased sale of sittings to make good the out- 
lay. It proved to be a remunerative experiment for the parish. He was the 
last survivor of the original members, and was always greatly interested in the 
prosperity of the church, giving his services to its members, and contributing 
frequently beyond his means to its treasury. 

Doctor Trowbridge was actively engaged in his profession in this locality about 
fifty- years, with only one interruiJtion. His rides extended over long distances, 
without reference to day or night, the weather, or circumstances, as against per- 
sonal comfort. Their bounds included Cattaraugus Creek, Olean, Batavia, 
Lockport, Tonawanda, Lewiston and Canada ; late in life he was called as far 
as Detroit. In 1838, after his failure, he resumed his profession with Dr. 
(Charles Winne, and continued imtil 1842. During a portion of this time his son 
John was a student in their office and after completing his studies he was asso- 
ciated with his father, continuing until the fall of 1852. Doctor Trowbridge did 
a large private and consultation practice until 185(5, when increasing infinnities 
compelled him to relinquish it entirely. He was elected president of the Erie 
County Medical Society in 1839 and was elected the first president of the Buffalo 
Medical Association, organized in 1845. 

These are the incidents connected with a long and unpretending, but eminently 
practical and useful life. His excellencies were appreciated and most intimately 
known among suffering humanity, or in quiet association with his fellow-men. 
He never aspired, by means practiced by many, to be known as a popular man. 
Those who committed themselves to his care were not subject to doubtful experi- 
ments with a view to his personal aggrandisement. He exhibited all those 
qualities which are needful to constitute the true gentleman, and his amenities 
were extended to all without distinction. He was never known, by word or act, 
to depart from strict honor and decorum. His life was that of one who, in his 
intercourse with men, exhibited all personal virtues and generous sentiments, 
founded on an intelligent Christian faith, which is necessary to the good citizen 
and true physician. In his associations with his medical brethren it was his 
highest aim to merit their confidence, and. without reservation, to give them such 
aid and comfort as the necessities of the case would seem to requii'e. The 
younger members of the profession with whom he came in contact were always 
treated with the most careful consideration ; errors were quietly indicated and 
the proper method for their ratification pointed out. 

Doctor Trowbridge, not entirely unaccustomed to the practices of the day, 
ignored the use of alcohol, and to this rule he most religiously and steadily 
adhered. It was only near the close of his life, and upon the recommendation of 
a medical friend, that he consented to use a certain and exact quantity of stimu- 
lus daily. This occurred long before the temperance movement was attemiitcd 



554 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

or had obtained any influence on the popular mind, when any endeavor to prac- 
tice temperance was rather a cause of reproach than merit. In his business 
habits Doctor Trowbridge was negligent in securing his just dues, though punc- 
tilious in the discharge of his personal liabilities. He was never exorbitant in 
his charges; seldom, if ever, employing the law in the enforcement of his 
claims, and often malting liberal deductions or donating his services. The con- 
sequence was that, notwithstauding a large practice, he was often pressed for 
means. With his friends he always erred on the side of liberality. His purse 
was never closed to the demands of religion and charity. He had many pupils — 
among them were Doctors Frank B. Eansom, Charles C. Haddock, O. S. St. 
John, Badger Dunn and James P. White. Their nimiber, and the positions 
obtained in their profession and society, indicate his ability as a teacher. He 
always endeavored to influence them with high and honorable sentiments, not 
only by his teaching, but by his example. It is not to the discredit of his asso- 
ciates to say tliat he was a courageous, safe and judicious practitioner. He was 
constitutionally, and otherwise, eminently calculated for the practice of his 
chosen profession. In the exercise of its high, and often unexpected and 
exhausting responsibilities, and in all the varying circumstances and vicissitudes 
incident thereto, there was no one, with the lights then at command, better 
schooled or fitted to meet them all than he. In the obstetrical science no one of 
his time, or perhaps since, in this locality was, or is, his superior. He always 
appreciated the grave responsibilities suiTounding him, possessed an intelligence 
that was equal to any emergency, and professional boldness that was ready for 
every necessity, the want of which is a serious detriment to the success of the 
most timid, but equally intelligent and conscientious practitioner. 

In conversation he was peculiarly ha]5py, entertaining and instructive, and in 
whatever principle was not concerned he yielded ready obedience to social usage 
and custom. He had a faculty of satisfying his pride — for at heart he was a 
proud man — by honoring the avocation through which he had achieved the right 
to be what he was. His leisure time was either employed in general literature, 
or in keeping pace witli the progress of his profassion. Politically he always 
had the best interests of the country at heart, although rarely if ever taking an 
active part in politics. Early in life he was a Federalist, later a Whig, and 
lastly a Eepublican. The government, in its earlier efforts to maintain itself as 
against England, always had his best efforts, and in its recent and successful 
attempt to maintain the supremacy of the Union and the Constitution was the 
recipient of his devoutest wishes. Two of his sons were in the service; one of 
them, the youngest, Capt. Henry W. Trowbridge, died while his regiment was in 
front of Yorktown. Doctor Trowbridge often expressed a desire to live to see the 
government recover its control over the rebellious states, and to assert and 
successfully maintain its supremacy; but this was not allowed him. 

Doctor Trowbridge's parents were Puritans, and it is fair to suppose there were 
no opportunities neglected in attempting to impress on his youthful mind their 
religious belief. While serving his clerkship as a youth he attended the only 
Episcopal church in Boston, King's Chapel, and, as his wife was educated in the 
Eiiiseopal faith, he was thus influenced and confirmed in his early predilections. 
His belief was earnest, simple, honest, founded in the exercise of the high pre- 
rogative of reason. It was neither \ineharit4:vble nor sectarian, rebelling most 
stoutly against pretense and cant, whether it had an existence in religion, morals, 
or the medical profession. The Eilile and the Book of Common Prayer for many 
years had a place on his table and every day were the subject of his study. 

In active life his labors on the Sabbath were always arranged, when possible, 
so that those portions of the day devoted to public worship might not be subject 
to interruption. Jiidging him by what makes up the actualities of life, one 
is safe in claiming for him a reasonable effort to live acceptably to God and 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 555 

uiau. Towards the close of his life, and after he was incapacitated for the duties 
of his profession, the subject of religion was a matter of serious consideration 
and frequent conversation. In liis expressions he never made place for doubt. 
The near and certain approach of death was calmly awaited, although he 
expressed himself as having in an imperfect manner, and perhaps not according 
to the talents committed to him, completed his usefulness. 

Fearing that he might be regarded as a burden, he was ready and prepared to 
give place to others physically and otherwise better prejiared to accomi^lish the 
never ending duties of life, only expressing a desire to be exempted from that 
intense physical suffering which is often attendant upon the final departure of 
the soul. In this not unreasonable request he was providentially gratified. The 
public, by private manifestations, the press, the medical profession, each in their 
own proper way, gave ex-pression to the loss that society had been called on to 
sustain. This was the last of a long and useful life. If there is purity here 
below, then it was pure.

almost daily interrupted by a call from Mr. To'misend, "to just come out and 
help awhile," at loading logs o;r wood upon the sled. He married in the summer

TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 557 

Stephen Van Rensselaer Trowbridge* was so named by his father out of 
respect for the jiatroon, Stephen Van Renssehier, who was a friend and neighbor. 
^\'hen seven years old, he lost his father. His father had a very warm friend 
in Gen. Vincent Matthews, a distinguished lawyer of Elmira, who was frequently 
at Albany on public business. Through this friendship General Matthews was 
led to adopt Stephen and take him into his own family. In due time he entered 
him in his office as a law clerk and started him in his preparation for the bar. 
Subsequently the general embarked in trade as a merchant and Stephen became 
his clerk, lie also had some fields adjoining the village and there Stephen had an 
opportunity to gratify his natural taste for farming. He soon became an expert 
with the cradle and scythe, and could hold his own with the best. 

At the commencement of the war with England, when he was not quite 
eighteen years old, the patriotic spirit of his father showed itself, and he enlisted 
in the cavalry service on the Niagara frontier. Pie enlisted at Elmira in May, 
1812, in Capt. James Matthews' company of light horse, New York state militia. 
He was ordered to Trumansburgh, N. Y., and from there went on to the lines 
in Captain Camp's company. He went to Lewiston and was on service on that 
frontier, and volunteered to go over to the battle. He was honorably discharged 
at Lewiston in December, 1812. f This sort of education, while irregular and 
apparently unsatisfactory, nevertheless had its advantages. It has been said of 
him by one most competent to judge and who knew him well : "He knew enough 
of law to keep out of it, of accounts to state them handsomely and in a beautiful 
hand, which he retained until the day of his death, and of fanning to make him- 
self independent of fraud in its practice." Later these qualities were of great 
value in a new country and often enabled him to render valuable service to his 
neighbors and to the public in official stations he was destined to occupy. 

Not long after his marriage, which took place in Januaiy, 1815, he gave up 
mercantile business and went to live at Horseheads, near Ehnira, on a farm 
which had been given to his wife by her father. In 1S20 he received a letter 
from his brother who had gone to Michigan the year previous, describing the 
opportunities that were offered in that new coimtry, and he at once decided to 
make a trip to Michigan and take a look for himself. With just one hundred 
dollars sewed in a belt around his waist and a valise filled with pins, needles, 
tapes and other small articles to exchange for his meals and lodging, he started. 
He walked the five hundred miles through the dense foresits of Canada and 
reached Detroit in safety. He went out twenty miles, and as he walked over 
the land there, he afterwards said, he thrust his feet to the instep in the rich 
black soil and decided that that should be his farm. He had saved money enough 
to buy of the government 80 acres of land and also to buy the improvements of a 
squatter, who was in possession. The "improvements" consisted of a log house, 
12 by 14 feet, and a small patch of clearing, which furnished soil for immediate 
cultivation sufficient to provide for the more pressing needs of his family after 
they came there. He returned to Detroit and secured his 80 acres at the govern- 
ment land office. 

He returned to New York for his family, and in October, 1821, they left their 
home in Horseheads and embarked for Detroit on the steamer Walk-in-the- 
Water, being seven days on the voyage. Upon arriving at Detroit he purchased 
of a Frenchman a pair of young steers, and loading his household goods on a 
wagon, with his wife and children, he started for his squatter's log cabin in what 
is now known as the town of Troy, where he arrived the following day. It was

t The above facts as to his military service were so stated in 1871 by his widow in her 
declaration for a pension, which was granted her. The papers are on file in the U. S. Pension 
Office.

not long after they were settled in their new home before a strong current of immi- 
gration set in, and many families from the East soon settled in that part of the 
country. Anyone who had shelter and provisions was obliged to be hospitable. 
On one occasion in their little log house with one room, which served as sitting- 
room, dining-room, sleeping-room and kitchen, was lodged and fed a party of 
sixteen men besides their own family. Tradition has preserved the name of but 
one of that party and that was Mr. Samuel Satterlee,* who located on an adjoin- 
ing farm in Bloomfield. It was not very long before they built a large double log 
liouse, which was considered quite a mansion in those days; as the family 
increased in numbers a still larger house was required and a frame house was 
built on the town line. It was in raising one of the earlier of these houses that 
Mr. Trowbridge braved public opinion by declining to furnish whiskey to the 
neighbors who had come to help him. He went to the top of the frame, carrying 
a bottle of water, broke the bottle, and called out: "Strawberiy Hill," by which 
name the place was loiown ever after. Instead of whiskey he furnished a bounti- 
ful supper, stating the reasons for the change in a temperance lecture of much 
force, which was well received, and was indeed the beginning of a strong 
temperance movement in that section. It was in his new log house, before even 
the doors and windows were put in, that the first sermon was preached in Oakland 
county, t 

Mr. Trowbridge began his public service in 1825, when he was appointed 
assessor of Oakland countj', and made the first assessment in Michigan in 
November, 182G. He was also the first county coroner. He was the first super- 
visor of Troy, in 1828, and for four terms afterwards. He was also in that year 
a member of tlie first legislative council of the territory, a body composed of thir- 
teen members, and when Michigan became a state he was elected to the senate in 
1839, 1840, 1841 and 1842. In the meantime he was frequently employed by the 
government in offices of responsibility and trust connected with the Indian 
Department, which in those days was of great extent, including seven states and 
territories, and of great importance, having care of the disbursement of tlie treaty 
moneys paid for the extensive domain of Michigan and Wisconsin. His treat- 
ment of the Indian was so fair and reasonable, so just and merciful, that he 
gained his confidence, while he had also the hearty approval of the government. 
The discovery of copper in the Lake Superior country started many new enter- 
prises in mining. At first the United States, the owner of the land, leased the 
mines to companies which worked them and paid a royalty to the government. 
It became necessary for the latter to have a resident agent on Lake Superior and 
Mr. Trowbridge was appointed to that position. He spent two s umm ers there, 
making his headquarters principally at Sault Sainte Marie. The business 
so changed that he had little to do, and he had conscientious scruples about 
taking a salary for what seemed to him a sinecure, and, recommending that it be 
abolished, he showed his sincerity by resigning at the same time. To his inti- 
mate friends, who alone knew what he had done, for he was no boaster, his 
conduct was no surprise, but only what might be expected from one following 
so closely as he did the commands of conscientious duty. In liis politics Mr. 
Trowbridge was in early life a Whig and later a Republican, after that party was 
organized. 

Wliile thus occupied with public affairs, his chief business was that of a plain 
farmer. He worked industriously and lived frugally. From time to time he 
added to his original purchase from the government until he had a fine farm of 
300 acres, well cultivated and furnished with comfortable buildings. He was a

Steve," by which he was known throughout the section about his home, indicated 
the esteem and regard in which he was held. As a neighbor he was always kind 
and accommodating, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in distress. 
His hospitality was proverbial; it began in the earliest days of his pioneer life, 
and never ceased. He was frequently called upon to prepare the last wills of his 
neighbors, a duty in which his early training as a law student was of great service 
to him. He was foremost in all good works, and contributed cheerfully and 
liberally according to his means in aid of charitable and philanthropic measures. 
At the time of the great famine in Ireland he was sent to New York in charge of 
a shipment of 2,500 barrels of flour contributed by the generous people of his 
state ; and when a cry of suffering came from the early settlers of Gratiot county, 
he was laboriously engaged in soliciting aid for them, and was sent to see to the 
proper disbursement of the contributions made. 

As to the religious character of Mr. Trowbridge it may be said, with him reli- 
gion was not a mere tlieory. If ever a man strove earnestly to exemplify the 
religion of Jesus Christ in his daily life, he did. He had weaknesses such as all 
flesh is heir to. Naturally he was quick-tempered, as most generous natures are, 
but no one knew it better or lamented it more than he. He was the soul of honor 
and with all who knew him his word was as good as his bond. He became a 
member of the Presbyterian church at Pontiac, and was successively deacon and 
elder of tlie churches at Troy and Birmingham up to the time of liis death, which 
occurred at his home. Strawberry Hill, in, Troy.

was cherished with parental tenderness. The business troubles that succeeded

turned over all his assets to his creditors, who, admiring his uprightness, made 
over to him a considerable amount of accounts, and left him his homestead. The 
creditors put the property into the hands of Mr. Trowbridge, who was then not 
quite eighteen years old, and he closed up the business. He went down the Sus- 
quehanna with salt, gypsum and lumber, and disposed of them in Pennsylvania, 
and came back with the proceeds. In 1S19 Mr. William A. Ely of Owego sent 
him as supercargo to Havre de Grace and Baltimore, and he returned through 
the country unarmed, eaiTying all the proceeds of his voyage in bank notes upon 
his person. After his return from Baltimore he was put in temporary charge of 
the stock in trade of General Goodrich, a merchant lately deceased. But at this 
time he was turning his eyes to the future and reflecting on the place where he 
should fix his home. He was offered by Mr. Ely a share in his business as 
partner, but he preferred going westward. His first purpose was to go to New 
Orleans, but his friends opposed it. He was finally induced to prefer Michigan, 
by the favorable report of a young friend who had preceded him. Having indi- 
cated this preference, some of his friends through the intervention of Rev. John 
Monteith, then a missionary and teacher in Detroit, secured for him an ajipoint- 
ment under Major Thomas Rowland, who, having served meritoriously in the 
army during the war, had settled in Detroit and was then United States marshal, 
clerk of the courts, justice of the peace, trustee of the city, and exercising many 
functions. Major Rowland was a gentleman of culture, of sterling character, 
and during his whole life much esteemed. He took Mr. Trowbridge at once into 
his own family, made him deputy in both his offices, and paid him as liberally 
as business would permit. 

In August, 1819, Mr. Trowbridge started for his destination and went to 
Buffalo. Just as he left he received l>y the hands of one of his former associates 
under Major Ross, Felix Hinchman, a very earnest letter of recommendation to 
all good people, signed by four of the principal citizens of Owego. This 
unsolicited testimonial was very cheering, and it remained among his most 
^•alued papers at his death. As Buffalo then had no harbor, the steamer Walh- 
in-the-Water, which was then the only steam vessel on Lake Erie, made her port 
at Black Rock. He secured passage in her, and at the appointed time the vessel 
slowly went up the river to Lake Erie, aided by what was familiarly called the 
"horned breeze," being towed up by twenty pairs of stout oxen. Once in the 
lake she made her own way, and in due time he landed in Detroit. The little 
frontier post, with a very small English-speaking population, had a society which 
was somewhat remarkable for its refinement and for its entire freedom from stiff- 
ness and ostentation. Economy was not despised, and every door was open to any 
young man who was personally worthy. The militaiy element, which was then 
very large, included a good many officers who then or afterwards were distin- 
guished. During the first year there was not much work to be done in Major 
Rowland's office, but Mr. Trowbridge made himself a master of all the legal for- 
malities. Major Rowland was much attached to him, and procured from New 
York a full supply of leg'al treatises and urged him to turn his attention to legal 
studies. But he had relatives whom he desired to aid in their struggles to equip 
themselves, and he preferred to do all that came within his reach in the shape of 
remunerative employment. During the winter of 1819-20 preparations were 
going on somewhat confidentially for an expedition among the Indians, to remove 
some difficulties. During the War of 1813 the British had obtained great 
influence over the Indians, and had kept it up since the peace by generous pres- 
ents and flattering treatment. The purpose of this exiiedition was partly scien- 
tific to explore the sources of the ilississippi, but chiefly to impress upon the 
tribes the power of the United States, and to induce them to become friendly. 
General Cass sent for Mr. Trowbridge, and was so pleased with him that he made 
him a clerk and assistant topographer, and when the expedition started took him 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 5(J1 

into his own canoe, and made him his personal companion during the four 
months which were consumed in the long voyage of four thousand four hundred 
miles. The expedition started May 24, 1S20, and returned December 24 and was 
made throughout in bark canoes. 

On his return Mr. Trowbridge was sent with Colonel Beufait, a well-knowai 
citizen of Detroit, who was then an Indian interpreter, to make a payment to the 
Saginaw Indians. The silver for this purpose was carried on pack-horses, with- 
out an escort, and the journey took five days, during which the little party 
camped out every night without fear of robbery or molestation. After this time, 
while continuing deputy clerk, he began to act as private secretary and amanuen- 
sis to General Cass, and in that capacity wrote down, from his dictation, not only 
his public documents and communications, but some of his literary contributions 
to the North American Review and other publications. lie was also employed in 
some positions of great responsibility. In 1821, the Ogdens of New York having 
obtained the state's reversionary interest in considerable tracts occupied by the 
Si.x Nations, they desired, if possible, to induce the Indians to remove westward 
and vacate their territory. The secretary of war, Mr. Calhoim, favored the project, 
if feasible, and Mr. Ti-owbridge was ajjpointed agent to accompany the chiefs and 
representatives of the tribes to Green Bay, and negotiate with the Winnebagoes 
and Menominies for the purchase of suitable lands. During his residence in 
Michigan Mr. Trowbridge, who was already an accurate French scholar and 
familiar also with the Canadian, had become pretty well acquainted with the 
Chippewa dialect, and had spent the considerable leisure which is always enforced 
during Indian negotiations, in studying the variations in tribal dialects, and the 
customs and traditions of the Indians. On his return from Green Bay he was 
given a post in the local Indian department as assistant secretai-y and accountant, 
and soon after was also made interpreter. These employments, added to his 
salary as deputy of Major Rowland, gave him what was then considered a very 
good income, and enabled him to make some savings. 

About this time he was also made secretary of the board of regents of the 
university, with a salary of sixty dollars. This office was chiefly valuable to him 
by bringing him into familiar relations with the most prominent and cultivated 
gentlemen in the town, who were afterwards his personal and intimate friends. 
In 1^22. in consequence of a treaty of the previous year with the Ottawas, 
Chippewas and Potawatomies, whereby they ceded large tracts in Southern and 
Western Michigan, it became necessary to fix upon the places where the govern- 
ment should locate teachers, blacksmiths and other persons in the service of the 
tribes, and Mr. Trowbridge was appointed to make these selections and sent to 
get advice from General Tipton at Fort Wayne and Doctor Woleott at Chicago, 
who represented the tribes at the agencies, after which he was to meet Col. 
Gabriel Godfrey at Bertrand's, near Niles, and proceed to make the desigma- 
tions. One vessel a year then visited Chicago, and took supplies and brought 
away furs and peltries. Most of the travel therefore was on horseback, and the 
usual time between Chicago and Detroit was ten days. This excursion occupied 
six weeks. In 182.3 he was sent to Green Bay to take temporary charge of tlie 
Indian agency during the sickness of Commodore Brevoort, who was then agent. 
He improved this opportunity to make further studies in the languages of the 
Menominies and Winnebagoes. His first visit to New York City was with Major 
Forsyth, in 1823, to obtain and bring back $20,000, in silver, to malce payments to 
the Indians. In 1825 he went on horseback with General Cass to Wapaghkon- 
ctta, through a wet and difticult country, to treat with the Senecas for their 
removal beyond the Mississippi. After the treaty General Cass and Mr. Trow- 
bridge accompanied General Clarke in their canoe to St. Louis, and returned by 
the Ohio river, visiting Cincinnati to enjoy a meeting with Judge Burnett and 
General Harrison. About this time Mr. Trowbridge was made sub-agent, retain- 
ing his former position as interpreter and accountant.

But lie was about to enter upon a new employment in which he was perhaps 
better loiown to the community for a long period than in any of his other occu- 
pations, and he gave up his place under Major Rowland and all of his Indian 
employments except that of accountant, in which General Cass found him 
indispensable. In 1825 the immigration from the East began to increase more 
rapidly than before, as the Erie canal, just completed, furnished better means of 
travel and transportation across New York. Banlving facilities were entirely 
lacking in the territory, the Banlv of Detroit, incorporated during the early days 
of Hull's administration, having been disapproved by Congress, and having had 
no success. The Bank of Michigan was now established, and in this year its 
capital was largely increased, and Mr. Trowbridge was made its cashier. He 
continued connected with it as cashier or president, except for an interval from 
1836 to 1839, until the banlc was finally closed in the troubled times of 1842. He 
built his house at what was then regarded as a considerable distance from the 
town and off of any opened street, although on tlie line where it was expected 
Jefferson avenue would some day be laid out. In this house, added to from time 
to time, but not otherwise changed, he spent more tlian fifty-six years of his life. 

In 1831 General Cass was appointed secretary of war and was very anxious 
to have Mr. Trowbridge as his chief clerk, and even told him that his acceptance 
of that position would determine his own doubts about taking that office. The 
temptation of the great increase of income he would secure by this appointment, 
and his personal attachment and obligations to the general, were very strong 
inducements, but he finally concluded that an independent private station was 
preferable to any uncertain juiblic employment, and he determined to remain in 
Detroit. In 1833 he was one of the members of the so-called Boston Company, 
a lumber manufacturing concern on tlie Kalamazoo river, at the site of the 
present village of Allegan, which they laid out and in which he retained an 
interest. He was interested during the next few years in many other enten^rises, 
and was one of the original purchasers of tlie Cass Eront in Detroit, from which 
he and most of the other purchasers were finally released on terms which he 
declared very emphatically were not only just but liberal. He left this testi- 
mony as a matter of no more than justice to the memory of General Cass. 

His earliest religious connection was with the Eirst Protestant Society, which 
was originally composed of Protestants of various denominations, the numbers 
not being such at first as to warrant separate congregations, and he was elected 
secretary of this coriioration in 1822. After his marriage he cast in his lot with 
St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, where he became at once an active and 
useful member and officer. He continued to act as vestryman or warden until 
1845, when the increasing numbers made it necessary to organize a new parish, 
which was named Christ Church, in which he was senior warden until his death. 
His interest in religious matters was great and devoted, and while his modesty 
was remarkable, he was during life a conspicuous and influential member in the 
church, and as wise in his counsels, as munificent in his gifts and sacrifices. In 
1832 a dioce.se was organized, in which he became a member of the standing 
committee, and lie continued by annual re-election to be such a memlier imtil he 
died. He was also elected a member of every general convention of the Protest- 
ant Episcopal Church in the United States from 1835, and act^u^lly attended most 
of the sessions. 

He was not afflicted with any extreme desire for public ofiice. The only politi- 
cal offices he ever held were those of alderman of Detroit in 1833 and mayor 
in 1834, As a candidate for the latter office he received all the votes cast in the 
election but three. During this period he rendered essential service to the city 
by tracing out and securing the remnants of a fund derived from the gi-ant of the 
Detroit Military Reserve to the city. The fund tlius saved was put into the old 
City Hall building, and secured its completion. The early months of his mayor- 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 563 

alty were burdened by the cares occasioned by the visitation of the cholera. 
Wlien this had jiassed away he resigned his mayoralty and deposited in the city 
treasury the penalty then imposed for declining such duties. This is the solitary 
instance to be found in tlie municipal history of the payment of such a penalty. 
In 1837 he was nominated by the Whigs as governor of the state, and was 
defeated by only 237 majority for Stevens T. Mason, who, as acting governor of 
the territory and governor of the young state, had excited considerable enthu- 
siasm by his spirited course in vindicating the boundary rights, and whose party 
was in power. Mr. Trowbridge never allowed any further use of his name as a 
candidate for political station, thougli always holding and expressing decided 
views. He was a Wliig until the Kepubliean party was organized and was 
thereafter a Republican. 

In 1842 the pressure of business labors and anxieties wore out his strength, and 
for several months he was obliged to give up all occupation. His health, after a 
long intei-val. was gradually restored, and he was during most of his subsequent 
life hale and vigorous. He took charge in 1844 of the Michigan State Bank, 
of which he was president until its final winding up in 1853. He then became 
secretary and treasurer, and afterwards president, of the Oakland and Ottawa 
Kailroad Company and its successor, the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad Com- 
pany, and continued in charge until its further re-organization. He had also 
been manager or director of various minor tmdertakings. He was one of the 
directors of the Detroit and St. Joseph Railroad Company, the corporation that 
began the Central railroad, and ran it until the state purchased it. 

His constant business engagements did not prevent his cooperation in those 
enterprises and imdertakings in which there is no pecuniary profit and where 
the work done is of general importance. He took a lively interest in everything 
which was calculated to promote intellectual, moral and religious culture. He 
was one of the founders of the Historical and Algic societies. He was a member 
and officer of various Bible and missionary societies. He was appointed a regent 
of the University of Michigan in 1839, and took part also in the promotion of 
local schools and seminaries. He was president of the Detroit Board of Public 
Charities. His close business habits, his sound judgment and his wonderful 
memory, combined to make him a coveted agent in tliose places which should be 
filled with the best men and which, fortunately for the community, few but good 
men are willing to take. 

He did not retire from active pursuits until he had reached an age where 
few are capable of following them, and then he did not retire into idleness. His 
services in procuring the erection and completion of the Soldiers' Monviment 
deserve special mention. As usual in such matters, tliere is always a sum to be 
made up at the close of the subscription list, which is more difficult to raise 
than all the rest. He devoted himself with singular zeal and perseverance, not 
only to the building of the monument in its imperfect shape, but to securing 
its final completion by the addition of all the statues first contemplated. He 
found more work than most men could perfoiTn in looking after the interests 
of persons who had been fortunate enough to secure his kind offices, and in 
administering charitable and religious trusts. Tie was always attentive to the 
poor. He always found time to receive kindly and entertain cheerfully the 
numerous visitors who sought information or help from him. His long expe- 
rience and his systematic researches had given him a minute familiarity with the 
history of this region, and he was very liberal in imparting his knowledge and 
in aiding the researches of others. He was a ready writer, and was fond of 
noting down such matters as interested him. He had the unconunon gift of 
a very accurate verbal memory, which enabled him to preserve the language as 
well as the substance of conversations and interviews. He was the author of a 
"History of the Episcopal Church in Michigan" and "Detroit Past and Present.'' 



564 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

His disposition was gentle and affectionate, with great candor and frankness. 
People in trouble or perplexity were continually applying to him for advice and 
sympathy, and he never turned away his face from anyone who sought a hearing. 
And so it was by universal approval, that in the evening of his days he received 
such a testimonial of the lo^e and admiration of his fellow-citizens as few living 
men receive who have spent their lives in quiet. 

On his birthday at the end of his 82d year, the 29th of December, 1882, as 
many guests as the Eussell House could readily provide for met at a banquet in 
his honor. They were from all parts of Michigan and from other states, and 
they were, with scarcely an exception, personal friends of many years. The 
company included many of the French inhabitants of the ancient stock and 
adopted citizens of other nationalities as well as natives. It included dis- 
tinguished soldiers and citizens honored in public and in private life. And 
letters of congratulation came in from other parts of the Union, from men 
famous in civic and militarv' station, who had at some time in their lives enjoyed 
his friendship and appreciated it The words written and the words spoken on 
that occasion were the honest expressions of gratitude and admiration for a man 
who was recognized as a living blessing to the community in which he had 
spent more than three score years of an upright, pure and noble manhood. From 
that deserved ovation he retired modestly and quietly into the ordinary course 
of his daily pursuits. His cheerful energy never abated, and his industry never 
slackened, until the final summons came. A few days of illness, from which his 
old age gave him no suiEeient vigor to rally, and he gently yielded, and passed 
with clear vision into the better world. Such a life is its own best eulogy. His 
living presence was a delight to all who knew him, and his influence will con- 
tinue in many good works and institutions that owe their strength and success 
to his generosity and wisdom. The community that cherishes his memory will 
always be the better for his part in it. A commonwealth that had its foundations 
laid by such citizens should be enduring.

William F. Trowbridge learned the machinist's trade and became a master 
mechanic while still a young man. He moved from one town to another, more 
or less frequently, as his business necessitated. He lived about a year after 
his marriage in Marlborough, Mass., then for a few years in 'Worcester, Mass., 
and then returned in 1826 to Marlborough. After his second marriage, 
in 1831, he removed to Hull. Canada, He returned to the States in 1846, 
and lived in Auburn and Seneca Falls, X. T., and in Feltonville (now Hudson), 
Mass., where he subsequently died. 

Mr. Trowbridge was a man of considerable inventive genius and did a great 
deal towards starting machinery in the shoe business. He attended the Epis- 
copal Church, in which his children were baptized, before going to Hudson, but 
there he and his family became identified with the First Unitarian Church. He 
was a thirty-third degree Mason, being a member of Doric Lodge, F. and A. M..

Country as it was called, and settled in the village of Houseville in the town

Willard went to the Maumee Country, as it was called, in Ohio in the spring of 
1834 to select a new home, and when the latter returned there with his family 
the following October Elisha and his family accompanied them. They settled 
in the wilderness, twenty miles west of Maumee City, near what is now the 
village of Delta, York township, Fulton county. Two years later they were 
joined by their parents and two other brothers. The brothers all cleared exten- 
sive farms. Government land there sold at ten shillings an acre, and Elisha 
and his brother James at one time owned the village of Delta.

Willard Trowbridge came in early boyhood with liis parents to Edinburgh, 
X. y.. and grew up on his fathers farm in that town. At the age of eighteen 
he became a soldier in the "War of 1812. He enlisted at Albany September 8, 
1814, in Capt. Jamesf Morrill's company. Colonel Colden's regiment of artillery.

He settled in Edinburgh aft.er Iiis marriage, removing two years later to the 
village of HouseviUe, Turin to^niship, Lewis county, N. Y. It was a new 
country, then known as the Black River Coimtry, and there he built a log house

0G8 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

Mr. Trowbridge entered a piece of land, and then returned to New York for 
his family, arriving with them in Delta the following October. He soon had a 
log cabin erected on his farm, a mile west of Delta, and then began the task 
of clearing up the land. He was surrounded by Indians and wild beasts, every 
foot of ground was covered with heavy forests, and the first winter there he 
killed seven wolves and a bear. By hard work, prudence and economy he soon 
placed himself among the foremost of the new country, and he always kept him- 
self there. In the early days, before roads were cut, it was necessary for him to 
take a bushel of wheat on his shoulder and walk ten miles to the nearest mill. 
He assisted in cutting a road from Providence, Lucas county, for the first wagon 
that ever came through that part of the country. He lived on this farm until 
about 1875, when he and his wife came to reside in the village of Delta. After 
I'.er death he made his home with his son-in-law Mr. Haubiel on Wood street. 
He retained wonderful physical strength and activity until two or three days 
before his death. 

He was one of the first board of trustees of York township. He was well 
qualified to hold, and might have held, many important offices in the town and 
county, but he always had a strong aversion to office holding, nor did he wish 
his sons to accept office. When the plank road was projected from Toledo to 
Angola, he took a thousand dollars' worth of the stock, and by his personal 
solicitations obtained a great deal which the company could not otherwise have 
obtained, besides building one mile of the road himself. 

ilr. Trowbridge was a professor of Christianity for sixty years, during all of 
which time his life was never a reproach to his profession. About the year 
1S26 he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lewis county, N. Y., and 
after coming to Ohio he was one of the organizers and first members of the 
First Methodist Church in Delta. For over half a century he was identified 
with the early settlement and growth of what is now Fulton county. He was 
able to give a farm to each of his children that grew up and married.

summer of 1837 he accompanied his parents and brother Alanson to Delta, Ohio. 
They arrived at his brother Elisha's on July 7, and he and his family went to live 
in his father's log house. He had lirought some merchandise with him. and 
he kept store for a time, trading with the few whites there and the Indians, 
buying furs and skins, wild animals being plentiful at that time. He was also 
busy in clearing up the farm. After a few years he and his brotliers Elislia and 
Willard and a Mr. Hobart of Pike formed a company and bought of Mr. Lewis 
the old mill site above the town and a considerable tract of land and erected a 
saw mill. Some years later he acquired this mill, he had always practically run 
it himself, with SO acres of land. He continued to own and conduct it as long 
as it stood. 

Mr. Trowbridge was active in local jwlitics. He was a justice of the peace 
for York township for many years and was elected to other town offices, among 
which were those of township clerk and treasurer. He was also infirmary 
director of Lucas county before the county wa.s divided. Soon after he came 
to Ohio he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and when the Protestant 
Methodist church was organized he joined that and remained a member of it as 
long as that organization continued. His life was intimately connected with 
the jiioneer history of Fulton county. He was very active in building roads 
and churches, and gave his time and money freely to anything that would tend 
to improve tlie county. He had great hopes in it« future and lived to see his 
hopes realized. His original 80 acre farm is in the incorporated village of

they arrived tliere in the fall of that year, after a prosperous journey of six 
months. 

Mr. Trowbridge settled in Jackson, the county seat of Amador county, then 
a typical mining town. For twenty-five years he was identified with all the 
early progressive history of the town, and was always esteemed as a valued, 
enterjjrisiug citizen. By his energy he soon provided for his family a home, 
with surroundings and comforts unusual in those days; and he was considered 
iiuite in advance of the times when he procured the first sewing machine tlie 
town had seen, and undertook to bring a piano iuto the mountains by the difficult 
means tlien available. He provided the first school-teacher for Jackson (.in the 
person of his wife) and promoted the building of a schoolhouse and church and 
also the maintenance of public worsliip. Reared an Episcopalian, he was inter- 
ested in all churches, and nowhere was a clergyman of any denomination more 
cordially welcome, nor more likely to be found, than at "Deacon" Trowbridge's 
home. In later years he and his wife united with the church of her choice, 
the Presbyterian, and he continued in that denomination while he lived. 

After tlie death of his wife and youngest son, his active interest in most of 
tlie affairs of life declined, and he withdrew himself more and more from busi- 
ness and social intercourse with others, living quietly with his children. The 
one interest which best survived the past was his concern in the political 
situation of the country, and to this he gave great attention, always contending 
earnestly for the principles of the Republican party and hoping for their triumph. 
Mr. Trowbridge was a man of great refinement of character, with all the instincts 
of a geutlemaii, and a heart as tender and sympathetic as a woman's. He united 
with tlie First Presbyterian Churcli of Berkeley, Cal., December 4, 1892, and 
of him his pastor, the Rev. H. A. Ketchum, said, "I have the utmost coirfidence 
in his Christian character."

ment in St. Louis, Mo., of which he later became a partner. He had been in

bridge, Jr.. recalled him to W^atertown.

surgeon, his desire to take his deceased brotlier's place with his father, one of

begin the study of medicine. He received his diploma from Willoughby Univer- 
sity and entered into a partnership with his father in 1846. From that time 
he advanced in his profession until he ranked amoiig the most active and eminent 
physicians in his county. The practice of himself and his father was very large,

skillful surgeons in Northern Xew York and his reputation as a physician was 
unexcelled.

TROWP.RIPGE GEXEALOGY 577 

Charles E. Trowbridge spent most of his cliildhood with his frraiidmother at 
the Trowbridge homestead in Pomfret, Conn., with occasional visit^s to his 
liarents in Camden, N. T. At an early age he developed a mechanical taste. 
Coming to Whitinsville, Mass., in lf?54, he entered as an apprentice the employ 
of tlie P. Whitin Manufacturing Company, afterwards known as the Wliitin 
Machine Works. After successive promotions, he obtained the position of 
master mechanic of the Whitinsville Cotton Mills Company. 

Gifted with the inventive faculty to an unusual degree, his attention was 
directed to the improvement in many ways of the spinning ring, with great and 
successfid results to the cotton industry. Tie made his first important invention 
in 1872, namely, special tools for the making of spinning rings, and with Hon. 
Arthur F. Whitin as partner he began the manufacture of rings the following 
year, under the finn name and style of the Whitinsville Spinning King Company. 
The firm has since carried on the manufacture of these rings, and their superi- 
ority has est^jblished the reputation of the firm not only in America but wherever 
tlie spinning industry is known. In 1887 his son was taken into partnership and 
became superintendent. A few years ago Mr. Trowbridge transferred his 
interest in the finn to his son, and progress has continued without interruption. 

Mr. Trowbridge was always a progTessive man as to village and up-to-date 
improvements. He was greatly interested in electrical inventions, and was the 
first Wliitinsville citizen to install electric lights in his home. The first house to 
have a telephone was his, and he was the first citizen to own and operate an 
automobile. He was a bom inventor, but took as much pleasure in other people's 
inventions as in any of his own. Scarcely any invention passed his notice, and 
he was never satisfied with reading and hearing about them, but his inquiring 
mind demanded that he might further his knowledge, and then wonder what other 
novel things were to apjjear in the scientific world. 

Mr. Trowbridge was an active member of the Methodist church of the village 
and for over 50 years a liberal supporter of that denomination. Under the 
pastorate of George H. Mansfield, 1858-9, he was converted in the old Methodist 
chiirch, now known as Pythian Hall, and has continiied an active member of the 
church of his choice ever since. Serving as a trustee most of the time, he was 
a member of the present building committee, and to him perhaps more than any 
other member of the church is due the credit of removing tlie indebtedness on the 
property, which was so great a burden for many years. Many of the recent 
improvements on the church projx^rty have been brought about through his effort* 
and contributions. He was always present at the services while his health per- 
mitted, and was a great favorite with the young folks. To them he was always 
Father Trowbridge. Not only the home churches but othA- religious organiza- 
tions also will rememl)er his generosity. 

"He never filled a jiublic oifice, but had the people called, there would have been 
a service that would cause this small sphere in which we live to wonder. The 
demand or call of a cabal could never move him to undertake a public position. 
It would have to come from the ]>eople. He was a member of no society and was 
satisfied to belong to tlie brotherhood of man. His ways were ways of pleasant- 
ness and his paths were peace. His faith was a simple faith, and a great poet has 
said that that is greater than Norman blood. He was a genuine Yanlsee. He was 
born one and lived one. No higher tribute can be paid to his jiatriotism than 
that. There was joy to him, whenever on our national holiday he caused the stars 
and stripes to be run up the flag pole in front of his residence, but there was 
greater satisfaction to him to go back into his house and feel that the flag was 
there. He had feelings for his fellow men, respected their opinions, and was 
interested in their welfare and happiness." 

The funeral of Mr. Trowbridge was hold from the ^Vliitinsville Methodist 
Episcopal church, and rich and poor, and all creeds and denominations, were in

Elizabeth Fuller Bacon, daughter of Joseph and Beulah (Fuller) Bacon, bom 
June 10, 1812, in Newton; died May 23, 1885, in Newton. 

Otis Trowbridge lived all of His life in his native place, Newton, Mass. He 
was in business there as a carpenter. He was held in high esteem by his fellow 
citizens. He was a public-spirited man and had to do with many offices in 
administration of town affairs. He was a selectman of the town and was elected 
its representative in the legislature in 1843. He was one of the organizers of 
Eliot Church in Newton in 1845 and he and his wife were among its original 
members. He was chosen one of its deacons February 12, 1847, and was superin- 
tendent of it-s Sunday school for thirteen years, when he resigned on account of 
feeble health. 

"At the time of his resignation a large concourse of people were assembled, 
and he gave an interesting history of the school from the time of its organization 
in July, 1845. After some general remarks on the management of the school and 
the faithfulness of the teachers, Mr. Trowbridge made a series of parting remarks 
to the scholars and teachers. Turning tlien to the new superintendent, Mr. 
George W. Bacon, for many years a teacher, he welcomed him to the high and 
noble field to which he was called. Mr. Bacon made a well-conceived and feeling 
■address in reply, and spoke with much earnestness to the. teachers of the labor 
that was jointly before them. Immediately on the close of his address, his son. 
Master Fraiilv Bacon, a cliild of the infant school, in an artless manner, presented 
to Mr. Trowbridge on behalf of the infant scholars a splendid royal octavo Bible, 
witli the name 'Otis Trowbridge' on the cover, and within the inscription : 'A 
tribute of affection from the infant class of the Eliot Sunday school to their 
Superintendent.' Mr. Trowbridge, being taken by surprise, was much affected 
by this token of love; and hardly had made suitable aclcnowledgment, when 
Mr. William J. Gilbert rose, in behalf of the whole school, and presented to Mr. 
Trowbridge a valuable purse of money and an elegant parlor melodeon."t 

Mr. Trowbridge prepared a genealogy of Deacon James Trowbridge (No. 1000) 
and his descendants, which was published in pamphlet form in 1854 and has 
been of service to the compiler of this genealogy. The funeral seivices of Mr. 
Otis Trowbridge were lield in the old Eliot Church. They were conducted by the 
pastor, Eev. Dr. J. W. Wellraan, and were of a very, impressive character.

1121. Almarix Trowbiudge (Nathaniel^"'--', Edmund^"-'. Thaddeus^"^', 
William'^"''*, James'-''"", Thoinas'^), born November 24, 1811, in Quebec, Canada; 
died June 15, 1897, in Charlestown, Mass.; married September 15, 1846, in 
Charlestown, Elizabeth Ann Soutlier, daughter of Joseph and Hepzibah L. 
( Armistead) Souther, bom September 13, 1820, in. Charlestown ; died July 5, 
1898, in Charlestown. 

Almarin Trowbridge was bom in Quebec, Canada, during a temporai-y stay of 
his parents in that city, but he always claimed Newton, Mass., as his birthplace. 
He passed his chihlhood on his fathei-'s farm in Newton, and in his early teens 
came to South Boston and worked in the store of an uncle. On April 13, 1836, 
he entered the National Union Bank of Boston as a clerk. He was made its 
bookkeeper on Januai-y 1, 1837, and held that position for twenty years. On 
January 1, 1874, he was appointed its cashier, and continued to act in that 
capacity until August 19, 1890, when he resigned on account of advanced age. 
During all of this period, over fifty-four years, he was highly esteemed in banking 
circles and, long before his retirement, had come to be one of tlie best kno\vn and 
most respected of Boston's bankers. 

Immediately after his marriage he built a house in Charlestown on the corner 
of Mead and Russell streets, and during the remainder of his life he made thi.s 
his' home. With the house was a large piece of landf which Mr. and Mrs. Trow- 
bridge, who were very fond of plants, kejit as a garden, selling none of it, but 
protecting it with a high fence as the city grew up around it. It was a quaint, 
old-fashioned spot, with its little green for drying clothes, its fruit trees and 
flowering plants (among tliem a gigantic wistaria that climbed to the third-story 
windows), and domi in one corner the vegetable garden. The children and, 
later, the grandchildren loved it. Some of the pleasantest recollections of the 
four grandchildren are tlie games there, or of watching their grandfather (who 
was a small man) high up on a ladder trimming tlie grapevines, or of following 
their grandmother between the little dwarf box hedges while she snipped her 
■'posies." many of which found their way to the poor and sick in homes and 
hospitals and charitable institutions. 

* Except i, who is recorded in Southborough, Mass. 

t It was so large, that when it was sold to settle Mrs. Trowbridge's estate three very 
large brick apartment houses were erected on it without disturbing the original house. 



588 TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGY 

Life in the Mead street house went on pleasantly though quietly. Mr. and 
Mrs. Trowbridge were happy in each other and in their children, and also took a 
philanthropic and religious interest in the lives outside their immediate family. 
Few good works went on around them in which they were not more or less con- 
cerned. Up to the day of their deaths, although their bodily activity of 
necessity was less, they retained the use of all their faculties and their minds 
were as keen and their kindly, gentle natures as unspoiled as in the days of their 
youth. Their golden wedding anniversary was passed in tlieir old home, and 
there, two years later, Mr. Trowbridge died, his widow surviving him only a little 
over a year. 

Mr. Trowbridge united when a young man with the Pine Street Church, 
Boston. He later joined Winthrop Church, Charlestown, and remained a 
devoted member of it imtil his death. For many years he was a member of the 
choir and the secretary of the Sunday school. 

"The death of Mr. Almarin Trowbridge, who passed away at his home in Charlestown, 
Mass.. June 1.5th, remove.s one of the highly esteemetl and estimable members of Winthrop 
Cluu-ch. with which lie was connected for fifty-seven years. With a retiring disposition 
and rare domestic virtues, he united a talent for business and a benevolent heart, which 
niiule him prominent in mercantile and philanthropic life. Having been connected with 
the Union Bank of Boston for many years as bookkeeper and cashier, he was well known 
to business men as an able and upright man, while his relations to the church have been 
those of a steadfast friend, holding several positions of importance and contributing 
largely to its support and to all good causes. He retired from active life a few years ago 
in feeble health, and was over 8.5 years of age at the time of his death. He leaves a name 
which suggests only the most unobtru.sive and loyal fidelity to the interests of religion and 
the world at large. Infolded in the light of faith his soul waited for God. and at last 
entered the celestial city in tranquility and hope, the eternal love bridging the abyss for 
him between earth iind heaven."*

Charles I. Trowbridge received his education in the grammar and high schools 
of his native city. He established himself there in the iron foundry business, 
in which he was successful until his plant was destroyed by fire. He then made a 
voyage to Liverpool and Calcutta in 1858 and 1859, being absent about fourteen 
months. On the i-etum voyage he was for a few hours at the island of St. 
Helena, where he heard from the consul, Mr. Carroll, who was there when 
Napoleon arrived and his remains were taken away, many particulars of tlie 
life and treatment of that great warrior while on the island. 

Mr. Trowbridge was among the first to respond to President Lincoln's call for 
troops in the Civil War. He enlisted May 3, 1861, for three months in Company 
B (the '-Portland Machine Blues"). 1st Maine Infantry. At the termination 
of his period of service he volunteered again, but was prevented from re-enlisting 
on account of physical disability.

in transportation in the South, having represented the Louisville and Nashville 
Railroad Company as southern passenger agent and later the Atlantic Coast 
Railroad Company in the same capacity. In 1900 he was one of the committee

Mass. He died at his home there six years later.

City, SusaiiiiaJi Kesler. daughter of Henry liosler,* born Febniary G, 1814, in 
Xew York City ; died March 19. 1804, in FrauiingUam. 

George A. Ti-owbridge passed his youth in his native phice. Framingham. 
Mass. In 1829, at the age of twenty-four, he resolved to better his fortune, if 
possible. Means of travel were then vastly different from now and young George 
was very glad of the chance to work his passage to New York on a sailing 
vessel. When he arrived in New York his sole possession was five dollars. He at 
once received a situation in Christian Cape's iiork packing-house, established in 
1818 at 75 Eivington street. On account of his honesty and industry, he was 
soon after taken into the firm, which was thereafter called Cape & Trowbridge 
until changed to Cape, Trowbridge & Co. They located at the corner of Broom 
and Allen streets with a branch in Fulton Market, and never moved. This pork 
house was the largest in the counti-y, before the great West had grovra. Their 
house supjilied the principal hotels and ocean steamers, and also sui)plied the ship 
of Doctor Kane, the Arctic exi^lorer, with "pemiean," a kind of dried beef, men- 
tioned in Doctor Kane's histoi-y. In this business he made money fast, and he 
invested in real estate in New York City, and the rapid growth of the city more 
than doubled the value of his property there; and when he died in 1885 he left 
a large fortune. 

Aside from his prominence in business circles, Mr. Trowbridge was well 
knowni in other fields of city activity. He enlisted March 25, 1836, in the 
New York militia, and was a private in the Second Company. 9th Artillery 
Kegiment. until he was promoted second lieutenant of the same April 22, 1842. 
He participated in the celebration of the completion of Groton aqueduct, 
October 4, 1842. He was promoted first lieutenant of his company December 
27. 1842, and took part in the celebration of Evacuation Day, November 20, 
1843. He was appointed captain of his company, and served from Septem- 
ber 2, 1844, to July 12, 1845. He participated in the celebration of Evacua- 
tion Day, November 18, 1844, and in the parade to pay funeral honors to 
President Andrew Jackson on June IS, 1S45. 

He became interested in local politics. He was alderman of the 10th 
Ward, New York City, during the years 1854 and 1855. In 1854 he was chair- 
man of the committee on markets and one of the conunittee on public health. 
In 1855 he was on the following standing committee for the year: art and 
sciences, fire department, and chairman of the committee on lamps and gas. 

After remaining in business in New York City for twenty-five years, Mr. 
Trowbridge retired in 1857 and in 1858 returned to the old homestead in Fram- 
ingham, where he resided the remainder of his life. Soon after the out- 
break of the Civil War he was chosen to take charge of the fund raised at a 
meeting in Framingham May 6, 1861. He was prominent in religious affairs 
in the town and responded generously to appeals from his church. He was 
a deacon in the Plj-mouth Congregational Church in Framingham Center, and 
gave away during his life, in a very quiet way, a large fortune. He was uni- 
versally respected both in New York City and Framingham. At the time of 
his death he was tlie owner of considerable real estate in New York City besides 
his property in Framingham. He died at the old homestead in Framingham 
a little over a year after the celebration of his golden wedding.

married, second, June 4, 1873, in Arlington, Sarah Adelaide Newton, daughter 
of Aloiizo Eliot and Sarah Jane (Emery) Newton, born Januaiy 18, 1848, in 
Portland, Me. 

John T. Trowbridge led the life of a farmer's son. attending the district 
school and working on his father's farm in Ogden, N. Y., until his seven- 
teenth year, when he lost his father. He then went to live with a sister in 
Lockport, N. Y., where he attended a classical school during the winter of 
1844-45. He then taught school in Illinois and later in Lockport. Being pas- 
sionately fond of books, and devoting himself to study out of school, he had 
learned to read and translate French and German with ease, without the 
assistance of a teacher. At this early period he read and digested the works 
of the most noted of the English poetical and prose wi-iters, and conceived the 
plan of himself becoming an author. In 1847 he went to New York City and 
began to write for the press. He went to Boston, Mass., in 1848, and soon 
became known as a writer of popular tales under the nom de plume of Paul 
Creyton, and became active as editor and contributor to magazines and journals. 

In the summer and autunin of 1855 he visited Europe, spending most of his 
time in France and Italy. In the summer of 1865, and the subsequent fall 
and winter, he made a tour of the South, visiting the principal cities and the 
battlefields of the Civil War. He became senior editor of the widely cir- 
culated monthly "Our Young Folks," and his contributions to it made that 
magazine the most i>opular of its kind in the counti-y. He continued to be a 
freqiient contributor after that' magazine was merged in the "St. Nicholas" 
in 1873. He also wrote for "The Youth's Companion" and other jjeriodicals. 
From 1888 to 1891 he spent three years abroad with his family, travel- 
ing and educating his children, and living chiefly in Italy, Switzerland and 
Germany. He has published a large number of books, written ostensibly for the 
young, but intended also for older readers. He received the degree of M.A. 
from Dartmouth College in 1884. 

Mr. J. T. Trowbridge is the author of the following books : "Father Bright 
Hoi>es," 1853; "Martin Merrivale, His X Mark," 1854; "Neighbor Jackwood," 
1857 ; "The Drummer Boy" arid "Cudjo's Cave," 1863 ; "The Three Scouts," 
1804; "The South and Its Battle Fields," 1866; "Neighbors' Wives," 1867; 
"The Vagabonds and Other Poems," 1869; "Lawrence's Adventurers," 1870;

"The Prize Cup," 1896; "Two Biddicut Boys and Their Adventures with a 
Wonderful Trick Dog," 1898 ; "My Own Story," 1903. 

J. T. Trowbridge stands in the front rank of American prose writers and no 
American author has reached a wider public. By his stories for boys and girls, 
such as "Neighbor Jackwood" and "Cudjo's Cave," his novels, and his 
universally popular poems, he has endeared himself to the readers of two 
generations.. Of his "Jack Hazzard Series" it mny be said that they are almost 
unrivaled of their class. They are faithfid studies of character and life —

wholesome, fascinating, inspiring. In the story of his own life he tells of 
his boyhood on a fann in Western New York, of his struggles to secure an 
education, and his first eS'orts as a writer, which led him to New York and 
Boston, where he was thrown with some of the most eminent and picturesque 
men of the day. His reminiscences of Walt Whitman, Father Taylor, Emerson, 
Alcott, Longfellow and other men of letters are fresh and charmingly told. 
His autobiography, in fact, is notable for its vivid pictures of the past and 
its doliglitful styl.?. He is the only surviving member of the famous grouji 
of New England authors, which included Longfellow, Emerson, Whittier, Lowell 
and others. Mr. Trowbridge celebrated his eightieth birthday on September IS, 
1907, at his home on the beautiful shores of Arlington Lake, seven miles from

N. Y.; died April 13, 1889, in New York City; married August 1. 1873, in 
New York City, Mrs. Adelaide (Eose) Sayre. 

Charles A. Trowbridge came in childhood with his parents to Oakland county, 
ilich. At the age of sixteen he left the farm and went to live with his tmcle, 
C. C. Trowbridge, in Detroit, and began to prepare himself for a mercantile 
life. His first experience was disastrous. He embarked in the milling busi- 
ness at Wacousta, Clinton county, but the panic of 1837 ruined him, as it did 
many others, and he went into bankruptcy, honestly turning over to his creditors 
all his proi">erty, except the suit of clothes that he wore. Later he engaged in 
the wholesale grocery business with S. P. Bredy in Detroit. 

When the rich deposits of iron ore were discovered in Marquette county, he 
was one of the pioneers in developing that business, which has gTown to such 
immense proportions. He organized the Collins Iron Company and built a 
furnace on the Dead river. The company owned a piece of land adjoining the 
New York mine, from which the late Samuel J. Tilden derived a large portion 
of his fortune. It was thought that the ore body of the New York must extend 
to the adjoining quarter section, so the Collins Company sunk a shaft to 
reach it, but without success. This was before the days of the diamond drill. 
They worked at their shaft until their funds gave out, when they were obliged 
to abandon it. When the panic of 1S73 came on they went to the wall, and 
their land was sold under forcclo.sure of a mortgage. The purchaser went to 



606 TROWBUIDUE GENEALOGY 

the old abandoned shaft, smik but four feet and struck the ore body from 
which tlie New York mine had taken so much wealth. These facts illustrate 
the irony of fate. 

Mr. Trowbridge was very much interested in the subject of a railroad to the 
Pacific coast and did much to secure the necessary legislation, and in the winter 
of 1864-5 made a journey overland across the continent for the purpose of 
personal observation. It was a perilous jouniey at tliat season of the year, 
and nearly cost him his life. When the discoveries of silver were made at 
Silver Islet on the north shore of Lake Superior, he became interested in the 
property and was secretary of the Silver Islet Mining Company until the day 
of his death, at which time he was also interested in a silver mine in South 
America.*

Horseheads, N. Y. ; died Ai)ril 20. ISSl, in Birmingham. Mich.; married 
November 20, 1851, in Birmingham, Mary Anna Satterlee. daughter of Samuel 
and Susannali (West) Satterlee, born February 16, 1823, in Birmingham; died 
April 18, 1893, in Birmingliam. 

Rowland E. Trowbridge was brought in the year of his birth to Troy, Oak- 
land county, Mich., by his father, who settled in that town upon a farm. He 
entered Kenyon College in the Class of 1841. It was there that he made the 
acquaintance of Rutherford B. Hayes, afterward president of the United 
States. This acquaintance ripened into the closest friendship, which continued 
without interruption throughout his life. Stanley Matthews, late associate- 
justice of the IT. S. Supreme Court, was also his warm friend in college days. 
In his ambition to succeed, he overtaxed the nerves of his eyes, and when 
he was graduated in 1841 he was obliged to abandon all thought of any calling 
which might require the use of his eyes, and so was unable to take up the 
study of lais chosen profession, the law. Although he consulted eminent 
oculists, it was in vain, and for years he could not use his eyes even to read 
the current news of the day. 

He became a fanner, and in 1848 settled in Barry county and cleared up a 
farm in the town of Thomdale. The following year he was elected super- 
visor of the town. In 1851 he exchanged his farm for one in Bloomfield, 
Oakland county, and settled there, having married that year. He was super- 
visor of Bloomfield in 1855. He was elected to the state senate in 1850 and 
1858. He worked the farm until 1860, when he exchanged it for a milling 
property, and removed to Birmingham, Mich. In 1860 he was elected from 
the 4th District a representative to the Thirty-seventh Congress, serving on the 
committee on the post office and post roads. He was defeated by a small 
majority for re-election in 1862, but was again elected in 1864 to the Thirty-ninth 
Congress, and served on the committee on revolutionary claims and agriculture. 
He was also a delegate to the Philadelphia "Loyalists Convention," and was 
re-elected to the Fortieth Congress, serving as chairman of the committee on 
agriculture. He again became a farmer, and in 1873 took charge of the large 
Chandler farm near Lansing, in which he was successful. In 1880 he was 
appointed eonnuissioner of Indian affairs by President Hayes, and held that 
tiffice until the time of his death. 

Mr. Trowbridge was president of the Central Michigan Agricultural Society 
and was widely recognized as a leading agriculturalist. He was a sincere, 
honest and incorruptible man, and was so acknowledged by all who knew him. 
In politics he was first a Wliig, but became a Republican upon the organiza-

tion t)f that party. He was a clear and forcible speaker, iukI in debate, while 
not claiming nnieh in the grace of oratory, his manifest fairness and candor in 
dealing with all public questions gave great weight to his arguments. This 
was well illustrated by the following incident. When the theory of fiat money 
swejit over the country, he was called upon to discuss the subject of honest 
money. His argument was clear and forcible. After the meeting was dismissed 
a gentleman, a stranger to him, approached him and expressed great satis- 
faction. "But," said he, "Mr. Trowbridge, I could not discover to which 
of the old political parties you belong." He was not discussing party politics, 
but the great and important subject of honest money.*

William P. Trowbridge at the age of sixteen years and one month was 
appointed a cadet in the United States Military Academy at West Point. He 
stood at the head of his class at each annual examination during the four 
years' course at that institution, and was graduated in the Engineers with the 
highest honors in 1848. During the last year of the course he acted as institictor 
in chemisti-y. At his graduation he was assigned to the CoriJS of Topographical 
Engineers of the United States army. During the same year he was sent back 
to the military academy as assistant to Professor Bartlett in the department 
of philosophy, where he remained for three years. In 1851 he was detailed for 
duty on the United States Coast Survey under Professor Baclie, a position he 
occupied for five years. During this period he was engaged, first in the 
triangulation of the coast of Maine, afterwards in the survey of the James 
and Appomattox rivers in Virginia, and in 1853 he was sent to the coast of 
California to conduct a- series of .tidal and magnetic observations extending from 
San Diego to Puget Sound, a distance of thirteen hundred miles. This duty 
occupied three years, and during that time, in his leisure hours, he collected 
several thousand specimens of the natural history of that coast, which he pre- 
sented to tlie University of Michigan. The collection is said to be very complete 
and to embrace at least three-fourths of the natural history of that coast. 
In 1857 he resigned his commission in the army to accept the professorship of 
mathematics in the University of Michigan. Not finding that position just 
what he had anticipated, he resigned, and at the solicitation of Professor Baehe 
accepted a civil appointment in the Coast Survey office at Washington, and 
remained there as his assistant until the beginning of the Civil AVar. 

When the war broke out most of the employees of tliat office were of Southern 
sympathies and resigned, taking with them all the charts of Southern harbors. 
It is said that Professor Trowbridge was the only person left in the office who 
(^ould prepare charts of the Southern harbors from the original field notes in 
the office, and for several months he was kept on that duty. He was then 
selected by General Totten, late engineer-in-chief of the army, to take charge 
of the branch office of the engineer department in New York City, where he was 
charged with the construction of fortifications on the East river, including the 
new fort at Willet's Point, opposite Fort Schuyler, the alteration and repairs 
of Fort Schuyler, and the alterations and repairs of the fortifications on 
Governor's Island. It was his duty to purchase all the engineering supplies 
required for tlie army in the East. He was charged with the construction of 
pontoon bridges for tlie armies in tlie field, supplying them with materials 
and tools for conducting siege operations and for building temporary fortifica- 
tions. He had charge also of tlie supplies of materials, granite, brick, lumber, 



TROWBRIDGE GENEALOGT 009 

iron and machinery for the permanent fortifications of the Atlantic coast, from 
Maine to New Orleans. He held this position until the close of the war. 

In 1865 he was offered, without solicitation, and accepted the position of vice- 
president and general manager of the Novelty Iron Works, the largest manu- 
facturing establishment in New York City, devoted to the construction of 
marine engines and heavy machinery of all kinds. This position he occupied 
until that coi-poration went into voluntary dissolution and the works were finally 
closed on account of the falling off of the steamship building business. He 
then, in 1870, was offered and accepted the appointment to the professorship of 
dynamical engineering in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, New 
Haven, Conn. He was soon afterwards appointed a member of the New Haven 
Board of Harbor Commissioners, was later chosen its vice-president, and served 
on the board for many years. He was appointed adjutant-general of Connecticut 
by Gov. Charles R. Ingersoll and served in that capacity during the latter's 
terms of office, 1873-7. In 1877 he was offered and accepted the professorship 
of civil engineering in Columbia College in New York City. He held tliis 
position until his death, which occurred in New Haven, where he had made 
his home for many years. 

Incidentally Professor Trowbridge rendered great service to the Census Bureau 
in gathering and arranging statistics on scientific subjects. His services were 
also called into requisition as consulting engineer in important matters. He 
designed and made the drawings for a high bridge across the East river from 
New York to Long Island, on the principle of what is now known as the canti- 
lever bridge, and the design was approved by some of the most eminent engi- 
neers in the country, although a new departure in bridge building. He said at 
the time that he thought the next bridge across the Niagara river would be 
built on that principle as the conditions there were favorable for that method 
of construction, a prophecy soon after realized in the construction of the canti- 
lever bridge at Niagara Falls. He was one of the commissioners appointed to 
examine and report upon the constniction of the state capitol at Albany, and 
had the recommendations of that conmiittee been followed, the state of New 
York would have been saved a large sum of money and secured a safe structure. 
He made many valuable contributions to the scientific literature of the day 
and was a very busy man in many fields of usefuhiess. 

The following honorary degrees were conferred upon Professor Trowbridge: 
M.A. by the University of Rochester in 1856 and Yale College in 1870; LL.D. 
by Trinity College in 1880 and the University of Michigan in 1887. He was a 
member of the National Academy of Science and many other learned societies.

Tilhuan C. Trowbridge had the fibre of liis whole life set and toughened by 
the hardy and wholesome discipline of a frontier farmer's home, where he had 
the stimulus and benefit of learning to rely largely on his own efforts for the 
means of pursuing his studies. He fitted for college at Romeo, Mich., and 
entered the University of Michigan in 1848. He was graduated in 1852.* 
Feeling called to the ministi-j-, he entered Union Theological Seminary in New 
York City and was graduated from that institution in 1855. While in attend- 
ance there his interest became gi-eatly aroused on the subject of foreign missions, 
and on his graduation he took an appointment under the American Board. 
He was ordained in Brooklyn, N. Y., in .November. 1855, and soon after sailed 
for the East, reaching Constantinople early in 1856. He spent his first years 
of mission sei-vice in Constantinople, and then was sent on a long tour through 
Northern Armenia with Rev. Mr. Dumnore. In 1861 he returned to Con- 
stantinople, married, and for more than six years was in charge of the city 
mission work of Constantinople, interrupted only by a brief visit to America 
in 1866. In 1868 he removed to Marash to take part in the instruction of the 
Theological Seminary. In 1872 he was appointed to the work of raising funds 
for the college just then decided upon for Aintab, and started for England and 
America, where he prosecuted that work with great vigor and good success. 

In 1876 he returned to Aintab and became associated in the direct manage- 
ment of the college. Central Turkey College, of which he was now appointed 
president, and to which he gave the larger part of his time, though always 
rendering important aid in mission work. Since that time his home was in 
Aintab, and, with the exception of brief visits to England to solicit funds for 
the college, he devoted his time and energy with inspiring zeal, to promote the 
interests of the college and the material, moral, and religious progress of the 
people of Turkey. In this work his wide acquaintance witli influential, wealthy 
and philanthropic people, his well-known integrity and good judgment, his 
quick and contagious sympathies, his unfailing cheerfvdness and hope, gave 
his ready and tireless pen and his persuasive voice a very wide and effective 
influence, and it is not too much to say that the college owes a very large share 
of its present prosperity to the efforts he made in its behalf. His whole soul 
was wrapped up in the college, which he believed would surely become a great 
instriunentaJity in Christianizing the whole Turkish empire. 

He was a regular correspondent of the London Times, and in his plain out- 
spoken way he gave tlie English peojde much valuable information regarding 
the character of the Turkish goveriunent. In this he was most courageous, for 
it was perfectly well known by the Turkish authorities that he was the corre- 
spondent of the Times, and he knew this, and yet it never deterred him for one 
moment in exposing the weakness, the corruption and the horribly oppressive 
character of "the Turkish goveriunent. He was a man of genuine piety, of 
quick symisathy, of broad and comprehensive ijuiiioses, of em,inent and varied 
ability, widely known, honored and loved, an affectionate son and brother, a 
devoted husband and father, a faithful friend, a large-hearted philanthropist, a 
noble Christian man, and he left the world richer for his having lived in it. 

He was taken away in the prime of life, in the midst of abundant labors. 
While assisting at a communion service in the city of Marash in Central 
Turkey, he was stricken with paralysis, and after lingering four days closed his 
usefid and unselfish life. After public service at Marash, the body was taken 
to Aintab, where the funeral was held just at evening, under the shadow of the

of his fellow-men. The gathering of 2,000 of the native population arovmd his 
tomb at Aintab, many' of them weeping as if they could not be comforted, told 
in a most impressive manner of the strong hold which he had gained in the 
affections of that people.*

Guy M. Trowbridge settled on a farm in Troy, Mich., near the old homestead, 
where he could bo near his parents in case of need, and when his father died 
he went to the old home to care for and cheer the declining years of his mother. 
He was one of the prominent men of Oakland county, where he had always 
lived. He was for twenty years supervisor of Troy township and seven years 
deputy collector of internal revenue. He also served several terms on the 
Michigan Board of Control of Kailroads. He was president of the Citizens 
Fire Insurance Company of Macomb and Oakland counties from its organiza- 
tion. He was an influential meiuber of the Grange and held an important posi- 
tion in that organization up to the time of his death. He was prominent in 
the OaJiland County Pioneer Society and was one of its most faithful members. 
He was active in religious affairs and was for over fifty years a member of 
the Presbyterian church in Troy and an elder for many years, having been 
chosen to that oiEce in 1859 as the successor of his father. 

Mr. Trowbridge was at all times an honored and respected resident of Oak- 
land county, and was a man of sterling integrity. He enjoyed a host of friends, 
not only among the pioneers, but also with the younger generation with whom 
he had long been a favorite. In all his public life he was faithful, intelligent 
and honest. In the sometimes delicate and difficult duties connected with the 
revenue office he was so fair, so honest, and so just, that he gained the eon-

Maria Buel, daughter of Hon. Alexander Woodruff and Mary Ann (Ackley) 
Buel, born May 17, 1841, in Detroit. 

Luther S. Trowbridge after a thorough preparation in the schools of Michigan 
entered Yale Collegia in the Class of 1857, but was compelled in the latter part 
of his junior year, through the partial loss of his eyesight, to abandon his 
studies for the time being and return to his home. He was subsequently, in 
1866, granted a diploma from Yale with the degree of M.A. and his name was 
placed on the roll of his class. In the autunm of 1856, however, he began 
the study of law in the office of Sidney D. Miller of Detroit, and was admitted 
to the bar in 1858. In the following year he formed a partnership with Hon. 
Alexander W. Buel, which existed until 1862, at which time he entered the 
army as major of the 5th Michigan Cavalry, being commissioned September 2, 
1862. He went with his regiment to the Army of the Potomac, and participated 
in the stirring scenes of the Gettysburg campaign, taking a prominent part in 
the severe cavalry fight on the right flank of the army in the battle of Gettysburg, 
and having a horse killed under him while leading a charge of his battalion.* 

On August, 25, 1863, while convalescing from a violent fever with which he 
had been stricken following the Gettysburg campaign, he was promoted to the 
rank of lieutenant-colonel of the 10th Michigan Cavalry, with which regiment 
he went to Kentucky and East Tennessee. His services in East Tennessee were 
important and laborious, but not such as to attract public attention. Scouting 
and skirmishing were the order of the day, but in addition to that he was 
directed to finish a partially constructed field fortification intended for the 
protection of a large railroad bridge at Strawberry Plains. Upon examination 
of the work he discovered a serious mistake in its plan. Had it been completed 
as laid out, the enemy could have placed their batteries on any one of four or 
five elevations within easy range, without coming under any fire from this 
work. LTpon reporting the mistake, he was directed to change the plan of the 
work as suggested by him, which he did. The wisdom of the change was 
demonstrated twice afterwards when the place was attacked, once by General 
Wheeler with his cavalry corps of 6,000 men, and once by General Breckenridge 
with a mixed force of cavalry, infantry and artillery of about 5,500. The fort 
was successfully defended in the first case by 125 men of the 10th Michigan 
Cavalry with a section of a field battery in the redoubt referred to, and in the 
second case by 700 men and a section of artillery. In both cases the work of 
the artillery was most excellent, but had this fort, or redoubt, been completed as 
originally laid out they would have been useless, as they could not have reached 
the enemy's guns without going out into the open field and losing all the benefit 
of the protection of the fortifications.

On July 25, 186-1, Colonel Trowbridge was promoted to the colonelcy of his 
regiment. In January, 18(i.j, ho was appointed provost marshal general of East 
Tennessee, relieving Gen. S. P. Couter. He sen'ed in that capacity for two 
months, when, at his own request, ho was relieved to take command of his regi- 
ment in the expedition under General Stoneman into Virginia and through the 
Carolinas, destroying railroads, capturing military supplies of all kinds, and 
inflicting great damage upon the Confederate cause. It was a notable expedi- 
tion, for sixty-nine days subsisting on the enemy's country, without any base 
of supiilies, marching nearly 2,000 miles, breaking up very thoroughly more 
than 125 miles of railroad, capturing vast quantities of supplies of ammuni- 
tion, camp and garrison equipage, quartermaster commissary and medical stores, 
the city of Salisbuiy with its groat quantity of stores, nineteen pieces of 
artillery and more than 1,100 prisoners. Continuing its march in the pursuit 
of Jefferson Davis, the expedition passed into Georgia, across Alabama, and up 
to the Tennessee river at Guntersville, where it took cars for East Tennessee, 
after an absence of sixty-nine days. Upon returning to Tennessee Colonel 
Trowbridge was assigned to the command of a cavalry brigade, and remained 
in that position until the close of the war and the exiiiration of his three years' 
term of service. He was brevetted brigadier-general and major-general of U. S. 
volunteers to date from June 15. 18G5, for faithful and meritorious services. He 
was mustered out and honorably discharged September 1, 1865. 

General Trowbridge resided in Knoxville, Tenn., from the close of the war 
until 1868, when he returned to Detroit, where he has since resided. In 1873 
he was appointed by Governor Bazlej' inspector-general of Michigan state troops, 
a position which he held for four years. In 1875, without his previous knowl- 
edge, he was appointed collector of internal revenue for the First District of 
Michigan, holding that position until the spring of 1883. Under his adminis- 
tration the oifice assumed a degree of perfection which placed it in the first 
class of revenue offices of the United States, and it was a matter of public 
regret, and the cause of considerable disturbance in the Eepublican party of 
Michigan and other states, when he was asked, for no cause assigned, to resign 
in 1883. 

Always a stanch Kepublican, true to his party's principles, faithful to the 
public trusts, a brave soldier, and a man of the strictest integrity of character. 
General Trowbridge has won the confidence and luiqualified esteem of his 
fellow citizens. In July, 1883, he was appointed controller of the city of 
Detroit, resigning that position January 1, 1886, to accept the vice-presidency 
of the Wa.yne County Savings Bank of Detroit. After a service of four years 
and a half he resigned and accepted the position of private secretary to Hon. 
Luther Beecher, and upon the death of Mr. Beecher in 1892 was appointed one 
of the administrators of his estate. General Trowbridge now holds the office 
of appraiser in the U. S. Custom House at Detroit. 

General Trowliridge is treasurer of the Detroit College of Medicine. He is 
a member of the Michigan Club, the Loyal Legion, of which he is one of the 
past commanders, and the G. A. E. He is also a member of the Yale chapter of 
the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. In 1905 he compiled and published a "History 
of the 10th Michigan Cavalry." He was a member of Presbyterian and Congre- 
gational churches from the age of sixteen until 1883, then becoming a member of 
Christ Episcopal Church of Detroit.

William F. Trowbridge was brought up in Feltonville (Hudson), Mass., 
where he learned the shoemaking trade and was engaged in shoe manufacturing 
the remainder of his life. On October 1, 1850, he and Capt. Francis Brigham 
formed a partnership for the manufacture of shoes, under the firm name of 
F. Brigham & Co. They first carried on business in a wooden shop, later, in 
1858, moving into a brick shop, which has since been burned. Mr. Trowbridge 
withdrew from tlie firm in 1866, and from that time carried on business by 
himself. 

Mr. Trowbridge was one of the first two selectmen elected at the first town 
meeting held March 31, 1866, after tlie incorporation of the town of Hudson. 
He was prominent in town affairs, was a representative to the Massachusetts 
General Court, and held town oftices almost continually until his death.

Marlborough. Mass.. and at the age of seven came to live with an aunt in Felton- 
ville (now Hudson). Mass. He was able to devote only a very short time to 
acquiring the rudiments of education. He entered the shoe factory of Lorenzo 
Stratton and before he was twelve years old he had learned to make a whole 
shoe. Later on he worked in Stephen Pope's tannery, splitting leather, and 
learned to know leather thoroughly, becoming in time a practical shoemaker. 
When he was sixteen he worked for a time for Capt. Francis Brigham in 
Feltonville. At tlie age of seventeen he determined to see something of the 
world and he started for New Orleans. Learning that there was yellow fever 
there, he turned northward, and went to Saratoga Springs, N. Y., in the summer 
of 1841. He worked at his trade there from June to December. He then went 
to Ottawa, Canada, where he passed the winter. Tiring of a nomadic life, he 
returned to Feltonville and worked at his trade there, and in Worcester, Wobuni, 
and neighboring places until 1850. 

On October 1 of that year he began business on his owni account in company 
with Capt, Francis Brigham and William F. Trowbridge, his brother, under the 
firm name of F. Brigham & Co.. which became successful. Mr. Trowbridge with- 
drew from the firm in 1866 and Messrs. W. F. and W. B. Brigham came in. 
The firm continued until April 1, 1880, when Mr. Bradley withdrew to enter 
into a co-partnership with Heni-y E. Sayward of Cambridge. Mass. The firm

a somewhat smaller one in Dover, N. H. The firm is one of the strongest and 
most active concerns in Massachusetts. No manufactory in Hudson runs more 
steadily or with less friction. Their goods are sold mostly in the South and 
Southwest, but their customers are found in twenty-eight states. 

Mr. Bradley's time has not been given entirely to his own business. Prior to 
the incorjioration of the town he served upon several committees seeking to 
accomplish the desired change, and was a member of the committee of five on 
the part of Hudson to make a final separation from Bolton. He was elected 
the first representative from Hudson in 1867, and during that year had the most 
important matters to handle that has ever been before the legislature in which 
Hudson interests wei-e solely concerned. In 1870 he was elected town treasurer, 
and served continuously in that position until the election in 1890, when he 
declined longer to hold the office. During the period that he held this office 
he succeeded in placing the finances of the town on a more satisfactory basis 
than they had been previously. In 1877 he was elected a member of the board 
of selectmen, but declined a re-election the following year. 

Mr. Bradley has always been connected with the banking interests of Hudson, 
and has been for many years a vice-president and one of the board of investment 
of the Hudson Savings Bank. He declined an election as president of the 
Hudson National Bank, but has been for many years a member of its directorate. 
He has also occupied prominent places in other organizations both at home and 
abroad. He has always been a believer in the Unitarian faith and a steady 
supporter of its church. He has long enjoyed a reputation for business ability 
and strict integrity. He is a lover of standard books and has not lost his liking 
for travel.

Baptist State Convention. He was editor and proprietor of this paper for 
over thirty-two years, owning its building and printing plant. His health 
failing, lie retired from active business in the summer of 1902, and later went 
witli his wife to California. He died about two years later in Los Angeles. 

The following paragraph is excerpted from his funeral sermon preached by 
Kev. Robert J. Burdette in the Temple Baptist Church in Los Angeles. 

" 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' Sweetly these words fell upon the 
soul of this man. as he looked upon the face of his Lord. For all the years of 
his life he had served, faithfully, tirelessly, joyfully. When at last his hand 
fell from the plough, how broad and abundant were the fields of his tillage. 
Wlien the lightning carried the news throughout the breadth of this land last 
Sabbath that Luther Trowbridge had entered into rest, a tlirill of sorrow ran 
through a hundred veins of Christian activity. In every department of Christian 
work in the Baptist denomination his voice had been heard, his hand had been 
felt, for nearly half a century of zeal and devotion. In our educational institu- 
tions, in every department of missions, home and foreign, in the work of the 
great publication society, in the pulpit and on the rostrum, in the councils of 
Christian organizations, among the leaders of great movements, and serving as 
zealously and happily with the rank and file, all his life he was a living power 
in the clmrch of God." 

As a memorial to her husband, Mrs. Trowbridge in 1905 deeded her home in 
Detroit to Kalamazoo College.*

then at Allen's school at West Newton. He then entered the Massachusetts

with the degree of B.S., as a mining engineer. The following fall he entered

William O. Trowbridge attended school in his native place, Newton, Mass.. 
and while still a young man engaged in business there at the old planing mill 
on Church street. When the Civil War broke out he enlisted for nine months 
September 12, 1802, in Company B, 44th Massachusetts Infantry. He spent 
most of his term of service at Newbern, N. C, and was discharged June 18, 186.3. 

Upon his return he was engaged as superintendent of the Mason and Hamlin 
Organ Company, then located on Cambridge street, Boston. The business at 
that time was in its infancy, and much of its success may be attributed to the 
wise and careful management, excellent business judgment and earnest faithful- 
ness of Mr. Trowbridge. When the company built the large and finely appointed 
factory at Cambridgeport, the whole matter was. placed under his supervision, 
even to the making of the plans. lie continued in this position until liis death. 

Mr. Trowbridge was known within the wide circle of his acquaintance as a 
man of noble character, cheerful disposition, and one whose sympathies were 
easily enlisted in any good cause. His kind, brotherly regard and personal 
interest in all the three hundred or more men of whom he had charge endeared 
him to them, and welded together the employer and employed in strong bonds of 
fraternal sympathy and interest, and this feeling was very appropriately demon- 
strated at his funeral by the presence of this large body of workmen and the 
floral tribute of respect sent there by them. 

Mr. Trowbridge was from boyhood a member of Eliot Church in Newton. On 
April 21, 1876, he was chosen one of its deacons and fulfilled the duties of that 
office for a term of five years. His prominent religious life as a member of that 
church was fittingly spoken of in the funeral address of Kev. Mr. Calkins, his 
pastor and friend, who said in part: "I have never lost an associate in church 
work who was on the whole so useful. There were no ornamental works in his 
mind ; everything was called into play to do good, and his way to do good was 
to serve the church of God ; to stand by the minister ; to keep his mind free from 
all clerical details that he might give himself entirely to the exercise of the 
word ; in short, to see that the preaching and pa.storal work, and every department 
of the minister's work, be done as efficiently as possible. Mr. Trowbridge never 
laid one needless care on me; never made one imnecessary suggestion; always 
lifted, never deposited, burdens. I have no knowledge, and I think he had no 
consciousness of that wonderful gift of his, to guide witliout seeming to dictate. 
But the way itself was open as the day. He had a mind to work. He lived to 
be useful. His entire consecration and his cheerful readiness were qualities of 
his character.

Amelia Blodgett. daughter of Henry and Louisa (Allen) Blodgett, born 
December 6, 1844, in Boston, Mass. 

J. Eliot Trowbridge received his early education in the Newton public schools 
and private instruction in high school studies. He inherited decided musical 
talent, and at the age of fifteen began study of the organ under Dr. Benjamin C. 
Blodgett, head of the music department of Smith College, Northampton, Mass. 
Later he studied the piano with Prof. Junius W. Hill, at that time at the head 
of the music department of Wellesley College. A strong inclination, for music 
composition led him to give earl.y and serious attention to harmony, counterpoint 
and fugue, and to devote himself to the study of the classics. 

Eor more than fort.y years Mr. Trowbridge has been a church organist and 
choirmaster in churches in and around Boston, and at the present time holds 
this position with the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Newton Centre, 
Mass., having a vested choir of men- and boys. He has been with this church 
eight years. His longest service as organist and choirmaster thus far has been 
in the Second Congregational Church in West Newton, Mass., a period of 
fourteen years. 

In 1866 he entered the service of Messrs. Mason & Hamlin of Boston, as sales- 
man of reed organs, and remained in their employ thirty-five years. He has 
been for the past five years, and is at the present time, with the M. Steinert &

Sons Company in Boston, tlie largest dealers in iiianos, etc., in New England. 
For more than twenty years lie has taught music, jiiano, organ, harmony, etc., 
to many students, some of whom have become capable musicians and teachers. 
His residence is Newton, Mass. 

As early as 1872 Mr. Trowbridge began to publish his compositions and in that 
year appeared the first of a long series of works. He has written in large and 
small forms, including works for the organ, cantatas, Te Deunis, psalms, anthems, 
(pjartets, responses and solos. His most prominent musical compositions 
(1872-1907) are: oratorios, "Emmanuel" and "Paul the Apostle"; cantatas, 
"Heroes of '76" (operatic), "Peace of Jerusalem," "How Admirable are Thy 
Tabernacles," and "Mass in E Major" ; organ music, "Trowbridge Reed Organ 
Method," 110 select pieces for church and cabinet organ. He has published 95 
anthems, choruses, quartets, solos, duos and trios. 

Mr. Trowbridge has served as pianist for the Newton Musical Association and 
has organized large choruses to give the standard oratorios. In 1884 he was 
elected conductor of the Auburndale Musical Union. He has brought out, with 
orchestra, chorus and noted soloists, his own larger works, and in every way 
identified himself with the practical exiserience of knowing just what large 
chorus organization can accomplish. To this practical knowledge, then, is due 
to no slight extent the popularity which Mr. Trowbridge's works have enjoyed for 
years, and enjoy now more than ever.*

1871. His first position was with ilr. Cliaiininsi- Wliitalver of Lowell, ilass., 
where his duties were to make plans for mills and other buildings. Because of 
ill health, he was obliged to leave there and return home. 

!Mr. Trowbridge became an hydraulic engineer of great promise, and would, 
doubtless, but for his early death, have soon ranked among the first in his 
profession. Most of the drawings for ilr. J. P. FrizelFs articles on hydrostatics 
and the hydrostatic press which appeared in "Johnson's Universal Cyclopsedia" iu 
1882 were made by him, he being in Mr. Frizell's employ at the time the articles 
were written ; the Cyclopedia, however, did not appear until after his death. In 
the fall of 1878 he secured a position in the U. S. engineer's office in St. Paul. 
Minn., and went there with his young wife. 'While residing there, he contracted 
typhoid fever and died that December in Red Wing, Minn. 

The following letter was written to his father soon after his death. 

"Ensiiieer Office, U. S. Army.

Mil dear Sir: I write to tell you how keenly the ilentU of your son was felt hy all con- 
nected with this office. Although here but a short time, he had made his marlc as a 
zealous, careful, competent assistant. I never met anybody who took up whatever sub,iect 
was assigned to him more readily and with more method, and who gave greater promise 
of eminence in liis profession. 

A day or two before his departure for Red Wing he complained of headache and 
asked leave of absence — a request readily granted. As soon as informed of his illness, I 
wrote hini, in effect, to take his own time and get well, and not to worry. But his mind 
was, I fear, too active for liis body. 

With sympathy for yourself and family, and for your son's wife, 

I am, very truly yours,

Mr. Trowbridge as an hydraulic engineer was indeed an authority. Besides 
his mechanical ability, he was an excellent inusician, composing music for the 
piano and organ, both of which he played. He was a fine German scholar, and 
also possessed artistic and literary talent to a considerable degree. He was a 
man of unusually fine and able character. His control of temper, begini in 
boyhood, is said to have been almost perfect. Under all circumstances he was 
a gentleman, generous, kind and considerate of others. He was also enibned 
with philanthropic principles, having, young as he was, plans for model tenement 
houses, and various projects to help the poor and unfortunate,

died there a few months after his second arrival.

■ resigned solely on account of the demands of his business. During this 
time be devoted himself with the most painstaking care to the service of the

Edwin Trowbridge was taught the trade, of spar making by his father, and was 
engaged in business as a mast and spar contractor, first in Waldoboro aiid later 
in Thomaston, Me. In his business he w'as an exceptional master, and superior 
in his capacity of efficiency and agreeably handling a body of men. 

Mr. Trowbridge and his family were members of the Baptist church in 
Thomaston, and for several years he sen-ed as one of its deacons. To the world 
at large the principal things that conunended tliemselves were his open, square, 
hojiorable life with all his fellowmen, his excellent judgment, the result of a 
remarkablj' well-balaneed mind, and his kindly treatment of everybody under all 
circumstances regardless of his station, wealth, or culture. He was a man of com- 
paratively few words, but abounding in good acts and leading a noble life, and was 
highly esteemed by his fellow citizens for his sterling worth of character. He 
was a member of the Masonic fraternity. 

"Mr. Trowbridge set aside, during his life, one tenth of his proiierty for 
religious and benevolent purposes at home and abroad. Although that tenth 
part increased more rapidly than did the rest of his estate, he never made use of 
it for any other purpose than that to which he had first devoted it. He never let 
his left hand know what his right hand did, and it was not until after his death 
that even his own fiimily knew how great, in proportion to his means, had been 
his charities. Both he and his wife were sincere Christians and their lives were 
daily given to the service of God in its highest spiritual meaning."

The Helena, Mont., Independent of June 5, 1907, pays him the following 
tribute : 

"In Helena Professor Trowbridge has been a singular and insistent influence for all 
that is best in education. He has led his contemporaries with a virile and cleanly knowl- 
edge of boy-youth, and every normal child in this community reverences Trowbridge as a 
friend, a champion, and a wise director of childhood. For all his talent as a teacher of 
juveniles. Professor Trowbridge has brought to his service here the eloquence of a lecturer, 
the training of an artist, and the sincerity of a true educator. We envy the town that 
gets Trowbridge. To us he is and has been the gentleman of nurture, the scholar, the 
practician and the poet all in one. Modesty and i>ower are in him. His spirit in 
educational work is as pure and as well qualified as any that can be found in America. 

In Mr. Trowbridge will be found the rare, the odd. the new combination of the gentle- 
man pedagogue. Which comes first is the question. Mr. Trowbridge will fit in any 
wise and modern school or scheme of learning. He is one of the men who have made 
education understandable : he is and will be, no matter where he goes, an influence for 
the tender, decent theories of broad nurture. Profe.ssor Trowbridge has been one of the 
biggest and best influences in the educational life of this town, and we regret his going."

May Lancaster, daughter of Benjamin Franklin and Aurora (Norcross) Lan- 
caster, bom June 24, 1863, in Winthrop, Me. 

Henry Trowbridge fitted for college at the high school in Thomaston, Me., and 
entered Colby College, Waterville, Me. He partially worked his way through col- 
lege and was graduated in 1883 with honors, standing among the first four in a 
class of thirty. He then entered the Albany Law School, from which he was 
graduated in 1885. In the fall of that year he married and immediately went to 
Denver, Colo., where he was admitted to the bar and began his professional career. 
He and his wife began housekeeping vei-y economically, but in less than two years 
he had an acre of ground and a house of his o^vn, and was making money so fast 
that had he cleaned up in 1890 he would have had $50,000 out of tlie profits of 
real estate investments in Denver. But, like a good many others, he held on 
until the panic of 1893 wiped out those assets; and he started in over again, 
tliis time strictly sticking to liis profession, which he has for the most part done 
ever since. During the period before that panic, however, he was connected with 
the sales of some of the most central business properties of Denver, where now 
stand some of its large blocks. In 1895 he moved liis office from Denver to 
Cripple Creek, Colo., where he remained until 1903, and then removed to 
Colorado Springs, Colo., where he has since resided and had his principal office. 
Mr. Trowbridge was elected district attorney for the 4th Judicial District 
of Colorado in 1900, his term of office being four years, from January 8, 1901, 
to January 10, 1905. 

It was during his term of office as district attorney that there occurred the 
severe labor troubles in Crijiple Creek district. That district was included in his 
official territory, and things there were then vei-y turbulent. Only those who 
have been on the ground when so heated controversies have occurred, which breed 
a small state of civil war, can fully understand the importance of a cool head 
and an impartial mind. Mr. Trowbridge so conducted the duties of his office 
during those trying times as to eonunand the respect of both sides of the contro- 
versy, and their judgment was that he was bent upon meting out impartial justice 
to all men regardless of their position. As an instance of this, the records of 
the court show that he not only prosecuted worlanen charged with crimes, but 
also as vigorously prosecuted military officers who had illegally imprisoned 
miners. 

In 1906 he was appointed by his successor assistant district attorney for the 
same district, a position he holds at present. The district embraces seven 
counties and 90,000 people, and both as district attorney and assistant he has 
been successful to a marked degree. During the year 1907, for example, out of 
eighty-five criminal cases of all classes disposed of by him only five defendants

obtained a verdict "not guilty." The bar has frankly told Mr. Trowbridge that 
he is the most efficient prosecutor the district has ever had, and among the busi- 
ness men of Denver and every other section where he has lived he has maintained 
an honorable name. 

Mr. Trowbridge while a student at Colby College was elected to the Phi Beta 
Kappa society and the Delta Upsilon fraternity. He is also a member of the 
Colorado Springs Lodge of Elks and the Colorado Society of the Sons of the 
American Revolution.

McReynolds, daughter of Aaron and Rachel (Galloway) McReynolds, born 
March 23, 1848, in Killing-worth, Conn. 

Ira Trowbridge came with his parents to Columbus, Wis. When nineteen 
years old he became a soldier in the Civil War. He enlisted August 15, 1S62, 
for three years in Company G, 23d Wisconsin Infantry. He participated in the 
battle of Chickasaw Bayou, La., the actions at Grand Gulf and Port Gibson, 
Miss., the battle of Champion's Hill, the action at Black' River Bridge, the siege 
of Yicksburg, the action at Carrion Crow Bayou (where he received a slight 
womid in the right shoulder), the battle of Mansfield, La. (where he received a 
giuishot wound in the head), the action at Cane River, La., the siege of Spanish 
Fort (Mobile), and the actions at Blakeley, Ala., Magnolia Hill, Miss., Pleasant 
Hill, La., and Fort Ilindman, Ark. He was discharged July 4, 1865. 

After his marriage he engaged in farming in Blue Earth county, Minn. In 
1880 he removed to Ottertail county, Minn., and settled on a government home- 
stead in the town of Candor, about ten miles south of Detroit, where he has 
lived ever since, engaged in farming and saw milling. He has held the office of 
town chairman. 

"Gradually the native monarchs of the forest have fallen before the wood- 
man's axe, and the fields and meadows have broadened and extended to the shores 
of the beautiful lake which was named in honor of the pioneer who is the subject 
of this sketch. The primitive log hut has given place to the more pretentious 
frame structure, there are large barns for the accommodation of the live stock, 
and the garden contains a good growth of fruit and shade trees and flowering 
shrubs. Looking back over these years, Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge, doubtless, 
have occasion to recall to mind the performance of a great deal of hard work and 
all the trials and privations incident to pioneer life. But as they contemplate 
the change that has been wrought, and view their pleasant farm home sur- 
roundings, they have reason to feel that their efforts have not been in vain."

February 24, 1859, in Pairview, S. C, Sally Jane Nesbitt, daughter of Maj. 
William and Cynthia (Mahaffee) Nesbitt. born July 28, 1838, in Pairview. 

Silas P. Trowbridge formed a partnership with his brother in the genei-al mer- 
chandise business under the linn name of W. C. Trowbridge & Bro. After the 
outbreak of the Civil War he hastened to offer himself to the Confederate cause. 
Severe injuries that he had received in a fall from a church building two years 
previous caused his rejection by the board of examiners for service in the 
artillery, in which he wished to enlist, and he was therefore obliged to take a 
place iu a service that carried him in the Western and Virginia armies. He 
"continued soul and body in the Confederate service and surrendered two weeks 
after Johnston's surrender." 

ilr. Trowbridge returned home from the war to find that the stock of his store 
had been sold to the families of soldiers, who could not pay for the same and 
from whom he could collect nothing, as they had been either ruined by the war 
or killed ou the battlefield. He at last found a friend who loaned him $500, 
and with that he again started in mercantile business, beginning in an old shop 
12 X 18. In 1890, when he turned the business over to his eldest son, it had 
grown so that there were fifteen clerks employed to carry it on and its credit 
extended to the chief cities of the counti-y. The finn name was Nesbitt, Trow- 
bridge & Co., doing both a wholesale and retail general merchandise business.

Grace (Smith) Beach, born November 25, 1801, in Goshen; died April 4, 1888,

Henry B. Trowbridge settled in Goshen, Conn., after his marriage. He lived 
there until October, 1833, when he removed with his family to Eochester, N. T., 
moving from there in 1835 to Lewiston, N. T. In 1848 he emigrated with his 
family, except his two oldest sons, to Eacine count.y. Wis., settling in the town 
of Burlington, whore he lived the remainder of his life. He was engaged in 
farming and dairying. 

•"Was an only child of .\l)salom and Chloe (Cishop) Trowbridge. Absalom was a native 
of Devon. England, anil came to .\merica as a bugler in Burgoyne's army. His wife was 
born in Dublin. Ireland, and was ot English parentage, her mother being a Jennings ot

II, Trowbridge I No. 141',M, a great-grandson of Joel Trowhridge.] 

t By same authority above. 

No connection between the above Absalom and Absalom (No. 140) has been proved. 
Cornwall records tell nothing of Joel's father. Stephen Trowhridge (No. 159) enlisted in the 
Revolution as "of Cornwall" in 1777 and Isaac Trowbridge (No, 110) lived a few miles 
east of Cornwall, but no proof of any relationship to Joel has been found.

1419. Francis Hubbard Tkowbridge {Ih'nnj B.^"'\ JoeZ^""), born January i 

22, 1825, in Goshen, Conn. ; died November 29, 1901, in Xeligh, Neb. ; married, I 

first, October 30, 18-14. in Cambria, N. Y., Lorinda Belmer, daughter of Anthony 

and Mary Ann (Laundre) Behuer, born June 6, 1830, in Franklin county, N. Y. ; i 

died November 10, 1899, in Neligh. He married, second, November 24, 1900, I 

in Neligh, Jennie B. (Haskell) Kelsey, widow of J. H. Kelsey and daughter of ; 

Charles and Eliza Jane (Davis) Haskell, born November 24, 1834, in Mile, Me. j 

She resides in Neligh. 

Francis H. Trowbridge came in boyhood with his parents to Lewiston, N. Y., | 

and became a fanner. He continued to live in Niagara county, N. Y., until 1855, 
when he followed his jiarents and other members of his family to Burlington, 

Eacine county. Wis. He there continued to be engaged in farming. He was , 

appointed assistant of F. S. assessor for one-half of his county, being the only 
farmer appointed in his congressional district. \ 

From 1861 to 1864 he was chairman of a county committee of five to encourage 
enlistments in the army, his only son being among the first of those who enlisted. 1 

In 1864 President Lincoln asked for three regiments of infantry from Wisconsin i 

to serve 100 days. Mr. Trowbridge helped recruit one of these regiments, the 39th 

Wisconsiii Infantry, and, leaving his wife and five little girls at home — his only | 

son was then serving in the army — he went to the front as second lieutenant of 

Company D, having been conunissioned May 21, 1864. This regiment left the ! 

state for Memphis on June 13 and rendered eificient sei-vice in the brilliant ' 

operations in the Southwest, contributing in no small degree te the victories 
of the national arms. 

Mr. Trowbridge was elected sui>ervisor of Racine county in 1866 for a term of 
two years, there being three supervisors to a county. In the fall of 1868 he 
removed to Mercer county. Mo., and froni there to Antelope county. Neb., in 

April, 1873, as one of the earliest settlers of Neligh. He resided there the ; 

remainder of his life. In 1874 he \\as elected school director and had the ' 

principal care of building the first school-house, and was elected a justice of the , 

peace the same year. In 1878 he was elected a member of the state legislature 
for a term of two years. He was appointed one of three appraisers of school 

lands in 1879 and one of three census enumerators in 1880. After the incoriiora- \ 

tion of Neligh, he was elected to represent it in the county board of supervisors i 

for 1894 and 1895, also during those years served as its mayor. He was county i 

correspondent of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for more than twenty- * , 

five years. , 

Mr. Trowbridge, besides being occupied with his farm and public duties, also 
wrote insurance, for the most part for neighboring farmers. He was also local : 

agent for a Minnesota and an Illinois nursery. He was made a Mason in Wis- 
consin in 1863, and was a charter member of Howell Lodge, No. 71, of Neligh, 1 
being its second master, 1881-3. He was the first conunander of John C. Tre- i 
mont Post, No. 68, G. A. E., of Neligh, organized in 1882. He was president of i 
the Neligh Cemetery Association for ten j'ears and also served as volunteer ' 
funeral director. His varied business and duties made Mr. Trowbridge a very 

busy man and he contributed greatly to the advancement and prosperity of i 

Neligh. He was much interested in gathering data of his branch of Trow- ' 

bridges, descended from his grandfather, for this genealogy.

He could tell of the times when the only houses for a radius of many miles were those 
built of logs along the banks of the JVIackinaw. when the city of Delavan consisted of 
only one frame house, when Green Valley City was as yet unheard of, when the wild

of the early settlers. This man asked not for fame or riches, he simply wanted to be a 
good citizen, to live an honest, upright life and set an example for good that could never 
die ; his efforts have been crowned with success. Honored, respected and beloved, a man 
of whom all his neighbors and acquaiutances were justly proud, he was eagerl,y welcomed

MISCELLAI^EOUS TEO^\^RTDGE RECORDS 



Mary Trowbridge (<lit'd 1609) married John Collins of Branford and Guil- 
ford, Conn. [Talcott Ms. in the library of the !New Haven Colony Historical 
Society, New Haven, Conn.] The compiler could not connect her with the 
family of Thomas Trowbridge No. 1. 

The name John STR.\BRroG* appears on the roll of Capt. William Turner's 
company, from April 7, 1(!76, which was st«tione<l at the garrison at Hadley, 
September 23, 1676, during King Philip's War. There is no evidence that he 
took part in the Falls Fight.f No later record of him has been found. Was tliis 
not John iS'/oci'bridge who "swore fidelity" at Haverhill in 1677 ? 

"Newton, Mass., Vital Reconk," recently published, mentions the deaths of 
two Trowbridges: "M. S., December 28, 1701-2, aged 28," and "P., October 
23, 1713, aged about 60." The compiler thinks there could have been no Trow- 
bridges of those initials, imless possibly the foniier was the first wife of No. 
1001. 

"Thomas Trowbridge died on board the sloop Seaflower, from Ireland to 
Boston, Mass., in February, 1741." [Boston Kecord Commissioners' Reports, 
Vol. 15, p. 328.] 

"The Winchell Family History" states that, Trowbridge of Nine 

Partners, N. Y., married daughter of Robert and Lydia (Hurlburt) 

Winchell. An examination of the wills of Robert (dated December 11, 1758) 
and Lydia (dated June 20, 1773) Winchell of North East, N. T., shows that 
there was one daughter, Anna, the fourth of seven children named in her father's 
will, and the only unmarried daughter in her mother's will, who might have 
inarried a Trowbridge. Her father was born in 1705, and she must have been 
born prior to 1750. perhaps nearer 1740. Eli (No. 185) had a brother, Seeley, 
who lived in Nine Partners. The compiler could not connect her with any 
Trowbridge. 

Betssey Trowbridge married December 24. ISOl, Elisha Bill of Windham, 
Conn., and died April 22, 1843, aged 70. ["Bill Genealogy," p. 250.] 

JoH.v Trowbridge married January — , 1818. Martha Phelps, daughter of 
David and Maiy (Sperry) Phelps, born March 26. 1792, in Cambridge, Wash- 
ington county, N. Y. She was then living in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Her 
brother Beriah Phelps, of Brantford, man-ied Lydia Robinson (bom 1813), 
daughter of Daniel and Martha (Trowbridge) Robinson of Genesee coimty, 
N. Y. ["Phelps Genealogy."] Perhaps this .John was a son of No. 171.

Daniel be No. 164 or No. 272 ? 



Mary Louisa Trowbridge married December 25, 1844, Barton B. Wilkinson 
(born 1802). He was in Aurora, 111., in 1869, but was unknown there in 1899.

[Letter from Mr. E. J. Steele of Torrington to Mr. S. M. Alvord of Hartford, 
Conn., who is compiling an Alvord genealogy.] The compiler could not find any
